Singer Sona Mohapatra, who is quite outspoken on social media platforms, has been on the forefront during the #MeToo movement. She has been fairly vocal about sexual harassment and has not shied away from naming people.
On Monday, when the singer took to Twitter to post two photos of her in bikini, a few of her followers trolled her.
Wild & Wanton.

However, Mohapatra got back at them, posting more pictures in bikini, saying “I refuse to fit in to any box, just like I refuse to suck in my well-earned belly.”

Sharing another set of photos, she wrote: "...hopefully someone in their life’s will teach them the concept of ‘consent’ and how clothes or lack of them doesn’t justify anyone attacking a woman."

Further, she took on those who commented on her looks saying their idea of 'worthy woman' is not hers.
The second category of people should throw away any notion of me living up to their idea of a intense, thinking, serious, loving & therefore only khadi or fully covered woman, your Sanskari’pan or idea of ‘worthy woman’ is not mine,no apologies from me therefore. #SonaOnTheRocks pic.twitter.com/bshtgojLMu
