However, the offer had a condition that Mohapatra could not perform alone and was supposed to team up with any male artist. ‘Feminist’ Mohapatra then took to social media to display her frustration.• Adhyan Suman, son of actor-comedian Shekhar Suman, once revealed horrific details about his relationship with ex-girlfriend, Kangana Ranaut, in an interview. The actor revealed that Kangana abused her not only mentally but also physically. He even went on to drop some hints pointing Kangana’s love for black magic rituals. However, Kangana’s close friend Sona Mohapatra did not like her friend’s image being tarnished.
