For someone as great as Sachin Tendulkar, it’s very rare that you will see him getting criticized. However, the GOAT was recently called out by Sona Mahapatra, Bollywood singer for Sachin’s recent tweet where he can be seen praising the reality show Indian Idol that airs on Sony TV.
Well, Sona is not at all happy with the return of Music Director Anu Malik on the reality show. If you aren’t aware then we should tell you that last year Sona had called out the singer-composer for his alleged misconduct towards women. Following the accusations, Sony TV had sacked Anu Malik, however, the channel has roped him again for the ongoing season of the reality show.
Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar took to his twitter and appreciated the soulful voice of the contestants through his tweet. In his tweet, he wrote:
“Really touched by the soulful singing & life-stories of these talented youngsters on Indian Idol. Rahul, Chelsi, Diwas and Sunny come from different parts of the country but have the same passion & dedication for music despite all odds. I’m sure they’ll go a long way.”

Questioning Sachin about whether he is aware of of the MeToo allegations against composer Anu Malik, Sona Mahapatra wrote:
“Dear Sachin, Are you aware of all the @IndiaMeToo stories of multiple women, some minors who came forward in the public domain about Anu Malik, the judge in this same Indian Idol show last year including their own ex producer? Does their trauma not matter or touch anyone? ??

However, Sona’s tweet didn’t go down well with the fans of Sachin and even one of the fans pointed out that Sachin was only appreciating the contestant. The fan wrote:
“How is talent recognition and appreciation from @sachin_rt related to Anu Mallik being accused of whatever? There is thing called ‘Context’. I would have called it lame, but this is far from lame and is beyond logic.”

However, Sona maintained her stand and explained the reason behind calling out Sachin. She wrote:
“Yes, the context is actually missing, for U. A powerful conglomerate like Sony TV is trying to divert the shameful reinstating of a multiple accused sexual offender,Anu Malik as a judge on #IndianIdol by publicising @sachin_rt & @anandmahindra ‘s praise & riding on their goodwill”
