Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut took to her X handle, slamming Sonu Sood, known for his humanitarian work, and wrote, “Next you know Sonu Ji will direct his own Ramayana based on his own personal findings about God and religion. Wah kya baat hai Bollywood se ek aur Ramayana.”

What made Sonu Sood gain criticism on social media?

A post was shared on social media, “SHOCKING NEWS… Bollywood actor Sonu Sood justifies sp*tting in people’s food. He equates sp*tting on food by a miscreant with Lord Ram eating Shabari’s berries. He said, “If Lord Ram could eat Shabari’s berries, why can’t he eat rotis that have been spat upon?” He defended the act of spitting by the food vendor and described it as an act of ‘Humanity,’ saying ‘Humanity must remain intact.’”

The controversy began when a user on X posted a video of a boy spitting on dough while making rotis. This was shared in response to Sonu Sood’s reaction to a mandate requiring eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display their owner’s names. Reacting to Sonu’s tweet, the user wrote, “The roti smeared with spit should be parcelled to Sonu Sood so that brotherhood remains intact!” In response, Sonu Sood shared, “Our Shri Ram Ji ate the sour berries of Shabari, so why can’t I eat them? Violence can be defeated by non-violence, my brother. Humanity must just remain intact. Jai Shri Ram.”
