Drunk men banged on my door, I hid, escaped at night, Singer Sona Mohapatra describes her Kota ordeal

Secondly we were informed that a Ms Sambhavna Seth's item dance will have to be accommodated in between our show . We were expected to move out of stage every 3-4 songs , break our graph & performance of largely Sufiana music to have a whole different energy take over . All these surprises apart , I was asked by the organisers , without any fore-warning I must add that I am expected to visit various 'commissioners ' houses to click photographs .







Since this was not part of my agreed schedule & I had much more important worries at hand being responsible towards putting up a basic performance for my fans who had travelled from far to hear us being the first priority , I requested for the meetings to be held in the hotel lounge . I think it was a fair enough request considering -
1) I hadn't been informed or invited formally in advance . This is the basic courtesy one would expect as an artiste , as a lady & as a guest .
2) The show & performance was top priority & could be in jeopardy considering the arrangements were vague , we had no sound check time , the equipment for the band had to be checked etc
3) & most importantly I myself was feeling breathless after the long dusty ride from Jaipur .
