Singer Sona Mohapatra took to her Twitter handle to share her song from 2018 and urged people to support music artists. She wrote that even though the video was watched by millions, the song was shared just by 12,000.

Sona wrote, "Watched by millions, shared by 12K, all real. Yet radio, media would have you believe that it’s artsy. ० support. ० earnings; India doesn't pay for music or content. Cost me 12 lacs. I can’t perform this on stage. Just a worthy legacy hopefully." [sic]
