Vocalist and composer Sona Mohapatra has recounted her interactions with Kailash Kher and has described how he attempted to make advances in a progression of tweets.
Kailash Kher has also been blamed by various ladies for inappropriate behavior before. A photojournalist has blamed Kailash Kher for explicitly hassling her when she went to her home for a meeting in 2006. Another lady has additionally blamed Kailash Kher for inviting her more than once to his hotel room in Kolkata.
Kailash Kher said regarding the claims that he respects women and said that he is neither mindful of any such demonstration nor does he recall it. Presently, singer Sona Mohapatra has blamed Kailash Kher for sexual misconduct. She slammed him in a progression of tweets and described episodes in which Kailash Kher’s conduct towards her was inappropriate. She tweeted that she initially met him at a cafe in Mumbai to talk about a show. Kailash Kher put his hand on her thigh and complimented her and said that he feels so great that a ‘musician got you and not an actor’. Her leaving the meeting immediately did not discourage Kailash Kher.
(1) Here I write my #MeToo story- and I name Kailash Kher. Guess what his profile bio says- Adiyal bairagi hu, ziddi anuragi hu. How poetic right? I will show you what it means- “I am a stubborn recluse, a stubborn lover” I wish I knew what this meant much earlier! pic.twitter.com/6ItkX2bPCi

(1) I met Kailash for coffee in Prithvi Café to discuss a forthcoming concert where both our bands were playing & after the usual, a hand on my thigh with lines likes, your so beautiful, feel so good that a ‘musician got you’ (Ram) not an actor. I left not soon after. (1) https://t.co/Cfz8Hf4sdP

(2) That did not deter Kailash Kher though. On landing in Dhaka & on my way to the venue with the organisers, keeps calling me & when I don’t pick up, calls the organisers phone to get through to me & asks me to ‘skip’ the soundcheck & join him in his room instead to ‘catch up’ https://t.co/beBehXBLup

3)The fact that Kailash had sung in my studios & for many projects in which I was the producer & knew me to be as strong as i am or that he had only recently taken a favour from my partner @RamSampathLive to create a personal track for him didn’t stop him. #TheHubris of such #men https://t.co/GLHvCsIPDR

The shamelessness of this man. To call himself ‘simple’, ‘devoted to music’ & even claiming amnesia. If this chap could dare try this stunt with me, it’s a disease that he has & I can vouch for not only these two women’s stories but hundreds more he would’ve have preyed on. 🔴 https://t.co/UaBL2rfz2h

Dear Shruti, please note that in #India the truly big names who play this game in the industry, no one will even mention.Also,very few women will admit to the full extent of their trauma lest she be slut-shamed.These ‘creepy’ chats tell an important story. Don’t trivialise them. https://t.co/q78YbTbGPP

Kailash as of late issued an expression of remorse and told a news channel that he respects women and could never consider doing something as disrespectful as this. She berated him on Twitter saying that it will take him a lifetime to apologize to every one of the women that he has gotten out of hand with. Shockingly, Sona did not get trolled for or get reaction for her tweets.
