Singer Sona Mohapatra comments on how Bollywood assigns heartbreak songs along gender lines, saying such songs are “reserved for the men.” In her remarks, she cites Arijit Singh’s song “Zaalima” as an example of the kind of heartbreak-themed track that, she argues, is commonly given to male performers. Mohapatra also frames the discussion in terms of fault, suggesting that the issue lies with industry patterns rather than with individual artists. While her statements focus on the frequency and placement of male-led heartbreak songs, she does not dispute that men sing many such tracks; instead, she highlights what she sees as a broader male-dominated trend in how the genre is distributed. The observations are reported by NDTV and India Today, which both describe her use of “Zaalima” in her critique of Bollywood’s treatment of heartbreak narratives. The outlets present the comments as part of Mohapatra’s public criticism of industry norms rather than as a factual assessment of the song’s authorship or chart performance. No further new evidence or data is provided in the reports beyond her quoted views.
