Actor Sonu Sood is currently facing a backlash from netizens after he defended a young food vendor's actions of spitting on his customer's food. He compared the incident to Lord Rama eating the fruit of Shabari. The controversy started when a user on X shared a video of a boy making rotis for his customers, including footage of him spitting on the dough.
The user's video came in response to Sood's reaction to Uttar Pradesh and Haridwar authorities' order for eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners. Later, reacting to Sood's tweet, the user wrote, “Spit-wrapped roti should be “parceled” to “Sonu Sood” so that brotherhood is preserved!” In reply, Sood said, “Our Shri Ramji has eaten the sour fruits of Shabari, so why can't I eat them? Violence can be defeated by non-violence my brother. Humanity must remain intact.
Jai Shri Ram.” However, this did not go down well with the netizens and it became a troll. One user wrote, “Itana bhi bachach mata karo, galat ko bhi sahi karopte kar mein lage ho.” “Mata Shabri se compare kar rahe ho unhe. Aur Apne Ko Bhagwan Ram Se. Kuch Bhi. Meaning kuch bhi,” added another. A third comment read, “Sonu, nonsense is in its place and truth is in its place, the one who makes this roti is neither Mata Shabri nor you Ram? Mata Shabri is the symbol of love, this guy is spitting hate.
Our Shri Ram Ji ate the sour berries of Shabri, so why can't I eat them?
Violence can be defeated by non-violence my brother
Humanity must just remain intact.Jai Shri Ram🚩 https://t.co/uljActwMrR

” Another comment read, “Mata Shabri was a devotee of Lord Rama and did not defile her berries out of malice. She was only giving it to Lord Rama after tasting it to know if it was sweet in its innocence. that person. The video shows that he neither loves his customers nor spits on them to see if they are cooked properly and you are comparing the act of such a person to Mata Shabari?
Sonu, nonsense is at its place and truth is at its place, the one who makes this roti is neither Mother Shabari nor are you Ram?
Mother Shabari is the symbol of love, this person is spitting in hatred.— The Abhishek Tiwary Show (@atsshow7) July 20, 2024
Mother Shabari was a devotee of Lord Rama and she had not made the berries impure out of malice. She was simply giving them to Lord Rama after tasting them to know whether they were sweet or not in her innocence.
The person shown in the video neither loves his customers nor is he spitting to taste the roti…

Mother Shabri tasted the berries in front of Lord Shri Ram so that he does not get any sour berries. She did not do this behind his back.
Shabari never hid her identity from Ram.
She did not sell plums posing as Mohammad Shabbir.
Shabari used to worship Ram.What is the need to hide the name?
