Actress Mandira Bedi broke stereotypes when at her husband Raj Kaushal’s last rites, she carried the bier, a ritual traditionally conducted by the men. This didn't go down well with some netizens who took to trolling the actress for her actions. In fact, even her choice of attire for the funeral was questioned.
Singer Sona Mohapatra was one of the B-Town celebs, who came out in support of Bedi and slammed trolls. Talking about it in an exclusive chat with ETimes, Sona lashes out, “That was disgusting, inappropriate, and tasteless.”
She went on to add, “No one should have to experience that, least of all, a class act like Mandira Bedi. Social media platforms have to raise their game when it comes to protecting women from brazenly sexist abuse. This is hate speech. I am glad and grateful that many in the media as well as people from across all political leanings called out this blatant sexism and celebrated Mandira’s personal choice”.
