Actor Sonu Sood has been one of the first ones to extend a helping hand during the ongoing pandemic. India's migrant displacement situation, health emergencies, and several other issues saw him emerge a hero, well, a good Samaritan at least! However, trolls continue to troll him, with several even calling him the “biggest scam of 2020”. There are people who claim he didn't actually help migrants on such a large scale, and even shared screenshots, alleging that most of the people who sought help from him on Twitter have now deactivated their accounts.
Speaking to a media source, Sood said, “These are a handful of people, and they suddenly rise from nowhere on social media. They don't actually exist in reality. I didn't bother to see what they've written, some friends told me. Who has the time to read? I've got lots of things to do for people.”
He said, “Someone said 'Yeh log to foreign se kisi ko nahi laaye'. A couple of days back, a flight landed from Philippines, and they replied on that tweet of students 'You don't exist, it's fake'. The students sent their boarding passes and flight number, along with college names to check. Suddenly, these trolls vanished. These are paid people. One-two people run 100-200 accounts.”
Sood said he has a list of 7,03,200 people who he connected with over the last four months, along with their addresses, phone numbers, Aadhaar card details. He said, “Anything you want to know, and that number is increasing by every second.”
