Netizens Call Sonu Sood’s Philanthropy PR Stunt, He Responds

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood won hearts when he extended a helping hand to stranded migrants reach home amidst the coronavirus lockdown. Sonu was always at the forefront helping workers, students and many more during the lockdown. But recently, some netizens pointed out inconsistencies in Sonu’s charity work. They labelled the actor’s work as a PR stunt.

Recently Sonu Sood extended a helping hand to a Twitter user who asked for help. The user said that their son had to undergo open-heart surgery. Sonu Sood responded to the tweet that the boy will be admitted to SRCC hospital and surgery will also be scheduled this week.

Check out the tweet and Sonu’s response here:

Tomorrow your son will be admitted to SRCC Hospital Mumbai. Surgery will be scheduled this week ❣️🙏 https://t.co/nym4H8Z2gr

Netizens raised suspicion as the account from which the original tweet had been sent was brand new. It had no profile picture and gave no contact detail. Neither was Sonu Sood tagged in it.

Here’s how Twitterati reacted to the viral tweet:

Looks like Sonu Sood literally got some super powers, the user doesn’t tag him or mentions the city he is from but Sonu Baba gets to know everything🤣,,,lol heights of PR stunt🤦‍♀️#Sonu pic.twitter.com/CSj9pkvCZ6

Sonu Sood was hailed for his selfless act by many Twitter users but a section still doubted him. They felt the date on the sheet and the tweet differed.

Check out some more tweets here:

Tweet for Help dated 20th October but Sonu Sir antaryami hain, he had Excel sheet prepared one month in advance. 25th September ko hi bana li thi sheet 25th October ko jo help karni thi uski 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2020 ka sabse bada fraud yahi hai ki koi isse bhi bada hua hai? https://t.co/vLF0f801hd
