Bhubaneswar: Known to speak out frankly, Odisha-born playback singer Sona Mohapatra achieved a milestone by getting featured on the billboard at Times Square in New York City.
Loved for her distinct voice, style, funk and approach, her billboard was displayed by Spotify as face of the ‘EQUAL’ campaign launched by the streaming platform.
The actress, music composer and lyricist took to Twitter to express her joy.
