Mumbai: The bold Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra became a target of brutal, insensitive trolls when she recently shared a sexual harassment incident under hashtag #INeverAskedForIt.
Sharing the unpleasant experience, Sona stated that she was asked to cover her bosom with her dupatta in front of the whole class while pursuing BTech.
“During my BTech Engg, walking to the microprocessor lab in a loose khadi green kurta with a salwar. Seniors whistling, speculating loudly about my bra size. One ‘well wisher’ walked up & asked why I wasn’t wearing my dupatta ‘properly’, fully covering my ‘boobs’. #INeverAskForIt,” tweeted Sona.

Have you complaint to police/ college authority/ lodged FIR.???…I think no..
It's new Trend to get sympathy from public for promotion since #GenderBiasedLaws is there to support you.. Misandry is deeply rooted in #Feminazi …— Soul Searching. (@DXTMRA) November 23, 2020
iska rona chalu hogaya, attention & sympathy seeker. if you are so much worried, why you do hot photo shoots showing full cleavage. instead of doing all this drama, singing pe dhyan diya hota, you would be better singer. in all your pics you see to it cleavage is seen properly.

Basically you meant oriya educated boys are vulgar.. I studied in an engineering college in kolkata with gender ratio 4:1, but never heard of such thing. I have oriya colleagues in my office as well, they seem to be decent. I don't understand how you came across such elements!!
