Sofia Ashraf is a young and beautiful Tamil singer and rapper. Unlike other rappers of this generation, Sofia is using her popularity and stardom for some causes of society. She has always tried to make general masses aware of impending social and environmental issues through her performances. For example, her novel attempt to ignite people against Dow Chemicals drew wide appreciation. It should be noted that Dow Chemicals, an American Company has bought Union Carbide which was responsible for Bhopal Gas Tragedy leading to death of thousands of people.
Sofia is again in news this time for her rap song against none other than Sasikala, the designated Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. There is no denying that Sasikala has usurped power of AIADMK after the unfortunate demise of Jayalalitha.
