Sona explained that her intention was not to disrespect Shefali, but rather to highlight what she sees as a recurring issue in the industry — the sidelining of original creators.
'To all those trolling me about being insensitive — are we okay with R.D. Burman,
Lata Mangeshkar
, Majrooh Sultanpuri — legends of our musical heritage — fading away and becoming disconnected from their own creations?' she questioned.
Sona went on to accuse the filmmakers of exploiting Shefali's death for publicity, stating: 'Are we okay with paid PR being used to milk someone's death? Calling yourself the 'makers' of Kaanta Laga is okay when you just [made] the remix video?'

Calling yourself the 'makers' of Kaanta Laga is not just tone-deaf; it's a disservice to the real creators of the original song. You did a smutty remix video of a hit retro song. That doesn't make you the 'maker' of anything more than an interpretation. Legends like R.D.
Burman and Lata Mangeshkar weren't consulted, but now you want to retire the legacy?'
Shefali Jariwala's demise
