Following the demise of Shefali Jariwala, the star of the remix, singer Sona Mohapatra has come under criticism for her recent piece on Kaanta Laga. On Friday, Sona used her Instagram Stories to go after the directors of the remix's music video, Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru. However, the internet community was offended by her tone, who deemed the message to be insensitive, especially given that it occurred only a week after Shefali's sad passing at the age of 42.
Shefali Jariwala and Kaanta Laga are the subject of a piece by Sona Mohapatra.
After Shefali's passing, Radhika and Vinay had stated that she would always be the Kaanta Laga girl and that they would never produce a sequel to Kaanta Laga. "3 legends created Kaanta Laga," Sona said on Instagram, though she didn't identify them. RD Burman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Lata Mangeshkar: composer, songwriter, and vocalist.
In reference to paparazzo Viral Bhayani sharing a post about Radhika and Vinay 'retiring' Kaanta Laga on a paid site (mainly), Sona stated, "This completely misdirected 'retirement' by individuals calling themselves 'makers' to get some PR out of a death nothing less." Initially, Lata Mangeshkar sang the song for the soundtrack of the 1972 movie Samadhi. DJ Doll remixed it in 2002. The music video, which was directed by Radhika and Vinay, featured Shefali, who was 19 years old at the time.

Internet slams Sona
On Reddit, Sona's words were posted with the title "Let her die peacefully Sona...". "Sona Mohapatra lashes out Makers of Kaanta Laga new version and also disrespects Late Shefali Jariwala," the original poster stated. appears to be targeted hate towards Shefali. Redditors slammed Sona in the remarks for the timing of the message and its tone.
"This is incredibly thoughtless and pointless, particularly if Shefali's loved ones read it." ‘RIP and all to the 42-year-old woman’, but she can't even say her name? There is always something that this woman is upset about, particularly if it is something that does not affect her. One remark said, "She has to get a life." A different social media user expressed the same opinion, saying, "This is actually so insensitive and hurtful for her close one." Furthermore, one shouldn't be impolite to someone who is no longer here to protect themselves. "One chimed in," said one: "Today I saw a new low in being jealous of a dead person."
In the post, a lot of Redditors were especially upset by how Sona referred to Shefali as a "42-year-old lady" without even mentioning her name. "These two only produced a filthy film with a 19-year-old remix (of course, their xx version didn't need permission from legends). The 42-year-old woman is gone, but what about her legacy?&rdquo her letter said.
"That's honestly such a disgusting way to talk about someone who did no harm and is not even between us anymore," one Reddit user said in response. Shefali's career began with that song, and she was happy of it. She actually owned her origins, something that few people do because they are ashamed. Wow! How could this horrible woman even consider sharing this story?
Several people highlighted that Sona had lent her voice to remixes, most notably Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar, which featured Deepal Shaw in a similarly seductive music video. Sona Mohapatra performed the remix version of "KABHI AAR KABHI PAAR (ft Deepal Shaw). In what way does that video/song resemble Kata Laga? Madam, what is this hypocrisy? a Redditor asked.
