‘Sleep On Footpath Next’, Netizens Bash Sonu Sood After He Reveals ‘Travelled On Footboard To Feel Plight Of Poor’; Know Why!

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood is not just a talented artist but also a great human being. He often hit headlines for his philanthropic work. Sood became a star among the rural belt of India during the COVID-induced lockdown when he helped thousands of poor monetarily. But recently, the actor got under the radar of trolls after reasoning on what made him travel on the footboard of a train.

It all began when Sonu shared a video of himself sitting on the footboard of a speeding train. He immediately got reprimanded by the Mumbai Railway Police as well as the Northern Railway for his dangerous act as this could have had a bad influence on youth.

Soon after, the ‘Ramaiya Vastavaiya’ actor took to his official Twitter handle and expressed his apology to the railway authorities for his careless stunt. Sonu wrote that he sat there to feel the plight of lakhs of poor people who spend their lives travelling on the doors of such trains. He thanked the authorities for this message and for making the railway facilities better.

While the actor has said sorry for his act, netizens aren’t impressed with it. They are slamming him for his clarification. Several users have said that Sonu should sleep on the footpath next to feel the plight of the poor.

A netizen stated that it is not necessary to induce this ‘poor thing’ template everywhere. He said that lakhs of poor people sleep on footpath during chilling winters. So, when is Sonu planning to sleep there.

Another pointed out, “The ones who are poor sit there because of their helplessness, but you sat there because you wanted to record a video.”

Professionally, Sonu Sood will next be seen in an action drama film ‘Fateh’. He was last seen in Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Samrat Prithviraj’.
