Sona slammed the makers of Shefali's remix version, but her comment about the actress's death has angered many.
Singer Sona Mohapatra has called out Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru for announcing the 'retirement' of Shefali Jariwala 's Kaanta Laga. The singer slammed the filmmakers as the song is a remix and not an original. However, in her post, Sona curtly mentioned Shefali's death, which has upset the late actress's fans. The singer is now being trolled on Reddit.
Sona Mohapatra wrote, 'Three legends created Kaanta Laga. Composer, lyricist and singer; RD Burman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Lata Mangeshkar. This utterly misplaced 'retirement' by people calling themselves 'makers' to get some PR out of a death, nothing less. (Viral B is a paid site, largely.)
She added, 'These two only created a smutty video with a remix with a 19-year-old. (Of course, no permissions from legends required for their XX interpretation.) RIP and all for the 42-year-old lady, but legacy?"
For the unversed, Shefali Jariwala passed away at the age of 42, and her demise shook not only her fans and family but the entire industry as well. Popular for her iconic dance number Kaanta Laga, Jariwala succumbed to sudden cardiac arrest. After the actress's demise, Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, who directed the iconic music video, paid their condolences to the actress.
'You always said you wanted to be the one and only 'Kaanta Laga' girl. So we never made a sequel — and we never will. We're retiring Kaanta Laga forever. It was always yours. It will always be yours… Shefali… RIP," they wrote in an emotional note.
Sona Mohapatra's Instagram note has gone viral, and Shefali Jariwala's fans aren't happy. One person wrote, 'This is so unnecessary and insensitive, especially if Shefali's loved ones read it. 'RIP and all to the 42-year-old lady,' she can't even say her name?!" Another wrote, 'This is actually so insensitive and hurtful for her close one. Also, there is no need to be rude to a person who is no more here to defend herself."
One person wrote, 'I have lost even the last shred of respect I had for her." Another added, 'That's honestly such a disgusting way to talk about someone who did no harm and is not even between us anymore. That song started Shefali's career, and she was proud of it. She literally owned her beginnings, which not many do out of embarrassment." One comment read, 'This is beyond disrespectful." 'Our generation wouldn't have heard that song if not for Shefali. The old song wasn't a cult classic amongst millennials," another person added.
The classic 1970s Hindi track Kaanta Laga was originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar in the film Samadhi. It gained explosive popularity in 2002 when DJ Doll remixed it, accompanied by a bold and controversial music video featuring model Shefali Jariwala.

Why Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna never shared screen again after an iconic climactic death scene?

From Anand to Adversaries A Death Scene and the Battle for Heroism — 4331Subhash (@4331Subhash) — IndiaHistorypic (@IndiaHistorypic) Accusations, Anger, and Distance You Might Also Like: Amitabh Bachchan was once declared 'clinically dead'. How he and Jaya Bachchan reacted to Puneet Issar after the Coolie accident In the world of Hindi cinema, rivalries are often cloaked in professionalism. But sometimes, a single moment — or a single scene — can fracture even the most promising collaborations. One such fracture occurred during the making of Namak Haraam (1973), and it changed the trajectory of the relationship between two of Bollywood's biggest icons — Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan In 1971, Anand marked a powerful collaboration between Rajesh Khanna, then the reigning superstar of Hindi cinema, and a rising actor named Amitabh Bachchan. The film was a massive success and earned both critical acclaim and audience adoration. But while Anand cemented Rajesh's position, it was just the beginning of Bachchan's meteoric rise. Two years later, Zanjeer turned the tide in Amitabh's favour, positioning him as the new face of stardom — intense, brooding, and unlike the romantic heroes Bollywood had previously changing dynamics of their respective careers cast a long shadow on Namak Haraam, the next project that brought the two together. Helmed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and written by Gulzar , the film revolved around themes of friendship, class struggle, and betrayal. But behind the camera, another quiet betrayal was his book Rajesh Khanna: The Untold Story of India's First Superstar, author Yasser Usman quotes lyricist and screenwriter Gulzar, who recalled how the original climax of Namak Haraam was rewritten to suit Rajesh Khanna's wishes. The actor had already tasted the emotional impact of an on-screen death in Anand, where his character's tragic end left an unforgettable imprint on viewers. This time too, Khanna wanted the same — to be the one who dies.'Hrishikesh Mukherjee had promised Rajesh Khanna the death scene,' Gulzar recalled. And so, despite the narrative initially being tilted towards Amitabh's character, the climax was quietly shifted. When Amitabh finally found out — on the very day of the shoot — he was devastated. 'In Hindi films, the one who dies is considered a hero, so both were keen on being heroic,' Gulzar said. 'He was crestfallen. He was so hurt that he didn't speak to me for several days. He felt I had betrayed him.'The professional snub led to a personal fallout. According to Prashant Roy, Rajesh Khanna's secretary for two decades, the actor became increasingly suspicious of Amitabh's influence on their shared director. 'Kakaji used to be very angry with Amitabh Bachchan. He used to tell his close friends that Hrishikesh Mukherjee is his favourite director, but Amitabh has filled his ears,' Roy recounted in the same bitterness spilled beyond the sets. Roy claimed that during the entire shoot of Namak Haraam, Khanna believed Bachchan was playing 'dirty politics' with the director. After the film wrapped, neither actor worked with the other again. 'During my 20 years working with Kakaji, I never saw Amitabh coming to Aashirwaad,' Roy added, referring to Khanna's bungalow. 'Earlier, Hrishikesh Mukherjee used to come quite often, but after Namak Haraam, even his visits were rare.'Though Namak Haraam became a classic and was critically appreciated for its performances, it marked the end of the Rajesh-Amitabh cinematic pairing. The unspoken coldness endured for decades. When Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012 at the age of 69, it closed a chapter of Hindi cinema marked by shifting stardom and silent estrangements.

Jaya Bachchan Cried After Watching Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha's Love Scenes: 'Tears Pouring Down...'

Last Updated: Rekha once claimed that Jaya Bachchan cried while watching her intimate scene with Amitabh Bachchan in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, after which Big B decided not to work with her again. In 1970, rumours of a romance between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha made headlines. While Big B always remained tight-lipped on the matter, Rekha has spoken about it in several interviews over the years. Back in 1978, when one of Amitabh and Rekha's last films together, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar released, the Umrao Jaan actor claimed to have witnessed Jaya Bachchan crying while watching their intimate scene. In an interview with Stardust magazine, Rekha mentioned that she saw tears rolling down Jaya's cheeks while watching the film Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and said, 'Once, I was looking at the whole (Bachchan) family through the projection room when they came to see the trial show of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. Jaya was sitting in the front row, and he (Amitabh) and his parents were in the row behind her. They couldn't see her as clearly as I could. And during our love scenes, I could see tears pouring down her face." She further continued that only after the trial show did she hear whispers about Amitabh Bachchan's decision to not work with her anymore. The veteran star further added, 'A week later, everybody in the industry was telling me that he had made it clear to his producers that he was not going to work with me." These rumours about Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan gave wind to another news piece which claimed that Jaya's friendship with Rekha was strained for life. But contrary to the rumours, Rekha, in an interview with Simi Garewal, shared, 'Didibhai (Jaya) is much more mature, much more together. I've yet to come across a woman who is so together. She's got so much dignity, so much class. She's got a lot of strength. I admire that woman. We had an association before the so-called rumours and the media messed up the whole image. We were living in the same building and we had a relationship. She was my Didibhai, she still is – no matter what happens, nobody can take that away. Thank God she realises that too." Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan's last film together was Silsila (1981), directed by Yash Chopra. It remains one of the most talked-about films in Hindi cinema, largely due to the off-screen rumours surrounding Rekha, Amitabh, and Jaya Bachchan.
