MUMBAI: Anu Malik is presently seen on Indian Idol 12. Singer Sona Mohapatra took a dig at the reality show Indian Idol and its judge Anu Malik on Twitter. After a user posted, “#Indiaidol #sonytv seems like #AnuMalik has been absolved of the #metoo allegations. @sonamohapatra. He is firmly in #judge seat since the past few weeks,” Sona responded with, “Trash loves trash.”
Have a look.

Music composer Anu Malik was first accused of sexual harassment by singers Sona Mohapatra, Neha Bhasin, and Shweta Pandit during the #MeToo movement. He stepped down from being a judge in 2019. Later, he released a statement to the media about his stand on the accusations against him. He has now returned to the judge’s seat.
Claiming that he did nothing wrong, he said, “It has been over a year that I have been accused of something that I haven’t done. I have been silent all this while as I was waiting for the truth to surface on its own. But I realise that my silence on the matter has been misconstrued as my weakness…Being a father of two daughters, I can’t even imagine committing the acts that I am accused of, let alone do it.”
In fact, Malik had asked for ‘justice’ in his statement and written, “The show must go on. But behind this happy face, I am in pain. I am in a dark space. And justice is all I want.”
