Singer Sona Mohapatra is facing backlash from Salman Khan's fans after she tweeted against the superstar's remark on rape.

The "Ambarsariya" hitmaker said despite Salman being guilty of so many offences, people still look up to him.

"Women thrashed, people run over, wild life massacred and yet #hero of the nation. 'Unfair'. India full of such supporters," Sona tweeted.

Salman in an interview compared himself with a raped woman when quizzed about the gruelling "Sultan" shoot, drawing sharp reaction from all quarters.

The moment the 40-year-old singer tweeted she was greeted with abusive tweets from the followers of the "Sultan" star.

"@sonamohapatra Publicity k liye tweet kar dia..." a fan tweeted. Another wrote, "@sonamohapatra who the hell are you to decide on any of the cases? Are you a part of Indian Judiciary System? Let the Judge decide."

To which Sona tweeted, "Dear Bhai Chamcha's, You continue to prove my point with every perverted, sick, cheap message you write to me."
