Sonu Sood gets trolled for defending Swiggy delivery boy who stole customer’s Nike Shoes,
Actor Philanthropist Sonu Sood got trolled for defending a Swiggy delivery boy who stole a Nike Shoes from a customer’s house in Gurugram.
A CCTV footage has gone viral on social media platforms in which the delivery boy can be spotted laying his hands to Nike Shoes a branded footwear after after delivering food. The customer lodged a complaint to the food delivery company about the theft by the delivery boy. However, he did not receive any response.
While several people lashed out at the delivery boy for his act and asked the company to take strict action against him, actor Sonu Sood defended him and said that he should be gifted a new pair of shoes.
Taking to his official X account, Sonu posted on Friday that if the Swiggy’s delivery boy stole a pair of shoes while delivering food at someone’s house not to initiate any action against him but buy him a new pair of shoes as he might be really in need. Be kind.
While fans of Sonu agreed saying that small acts of kindness can brighten up someone’s day. However, his post did not go down well with a section of users who argued that stealing is wrong, no matter what kind of situation a person is in.
A user went on to comment that asking for no action is still okay, but don’t justify it by giving nonsensical arguments. Poverty/Need is no justification for stealing. There are millions of people, poorer than this delivery guy, who work hard and earn their livelihood. They don’t steal. Justifying stealing is an insult to their hustle.
Taking a dig at the actor, another user wrote, “If a chain snatcher steels your gold chain then don’t take action against him in fact buy him a new gold chain. He might be really in need. Be kind.”
A user asked, “And what if he is a habitual thief and he is doing it regularly?
So if I need anything, am I allowed to steal anything from anyone’s house? This is one of the weirdest posts I have ever read. if he is in need , then he should wait for salary or take loan. steeling from other’s house is not fair , we should educate but not feed.
So anyone is allowed to steal anything, simply because he needs it? I need a new car, so can I just go and steal one because I need it?
In the name of philanthropy, please don’t normalise stealing goods another user commented.
Yet another user commented saying “agreed” sir! We all must be kind and help someone who is in need.
This should not be encouraged. If he gets away this time, won’t he feel confident when he tries for the next time. I understand your gesture but what if he is a thief?
The CCTV footage showed a lady accepting the order from the delivery boy and then shutting the door. The delivery boy then lingers for a while around. He climbs down the floor and uses his mobile phone for sometime.
A few seconds later, he climbs up the stairs and picks up the shoes and puts it in the towel like cloth he was carrying. The whole incident was captured on the CCTV of the house.
Sonu, who has worked in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada films, headlined in the midst of COVID-induced lockdown after he helped thousands of migrant workers to return to their hometown when all means of transportation were shut.
He also helped people in arranging beds, injections, medicines and vaccines, and even provided food and essentials to the needy.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonu will be seen on the silver screen in a action-packed thriller Fateh with Jacqueline Fernandez. Directed by Sonu himself, the film will hit the big screens in 2024.
