Sonu Sood faced backlash after justifying spitting into customer's food

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood faced intense backlash after he justified an offender caught on camera spitting on rotis he was making for his customers. Sonu found himself in controversy when he defended the spitting man by comparing his act to Shabri in Ramayana.

Politician analyst Abhishek Tiwari addressed Sonu saying he is not Ram and spitting roti-maker is not Mata Shabri. He emphasized that the offending man is spitting in hatred while Mata Shabri is the “symbol of love”.

सोनू बकचोदी अपनी जगह और सत्य अपनी जगह ये रोटी बनाने वाला न तो माता शबरी है और न ही तुम राम ?
माता शबरी प्रेम की प्रतीक है ये घृणा में थूक मिला रहा है ।

On the other hand, Indian actress and MP Kangana Ranaut also backlashed Sonu for defending the spitting man. She said Sonu ji will make his own Ramayana based on his personal interpretations of God and religion.

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 👌 https://t.co/s1bWOer4Rp

This controversy started when Sonu cited an example of Shabri who tasted berries before presenting them to Lord Ram on Twitter X. Shabri is a Hindu devotee of Lord Ram (Hindu God). However, Ramayana is a religious Holy Book of Hindus.

Sonu questioned why he couldn’t eat rotis that had been spat upon if Lord Ram could eat Shabri’s berries. He emphasized that their Lord Ram ate the tasted berries of Shabir. Hence, he defended man’s spitting act on rotis by calling it a “Humanity” act.

He also called this act the ultimate weapon against violence. Humanity needs to continue existing. Jai Shri Ram (another name of Lord Ram).

हमारे श्री राम जी ने शबरी के झूठे बेर खाए थे तो मैं क्यों नहीं खा सकता
हिंसा को अहिंसा से पराजित किया जा सकता है मेरे भाई🤍
बस मानवता बरकरार रहनी चाहिए ।

जय श्री राम🚩 https://t.co/uljActwMrR
