Sonu
Sood
has
been
hailed
a
superhero
for
his
relentless
work
in
the
past
few
months
to
help
out
those
affected
by
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
From
migrant
labourers
to
students
stuck
in
different
parts
of
the
world,
Sonu
has
reached
out
to
many,
and
the
list
goes
on
increasing.
Unfortunately,
in
the
age
of
trolling,
even
Sonu
isn't
spared.
There
are
some
who
question
the
authenticity
of
Sonu's
outreach
efforts
and
call
him
'the
biggest
scam
of
2020'.
Sonu
had
the
perfect
take
on
being
viewed
as
a
scam.
In
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times,
Sonu
spoke
about
people
alleging
that
he
didn't
actually
help
out
people
on
a
large
scale
and
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."
Citing
an
example
of
how
one
such
allegation
was
clarified,
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."
"If
these
trolls
start
counting
the
number
of
people
I've
connected
with,
unke
bachhe
tab
tak
badhe
ho
jaayenge," added
Sonu.
The
actor
reportedly
has
a
list
of
7,03,200
people
and
their
contacts,
with
whom
he
has
connected
over
the
past
few
months.
"Anything
you
want
to
know,
and
that
number
is
increasing
by
every
second," he
said.
He
further
asked
if
the
people
who
received
help
were
aliens.
When
asked
about
those
who
deleted
accounts
after
asking
for
help,
Sonu
clarified
that
those
tweets
had
sensitive
data
which
the
owners
of
the
accounts
themselves
deleted.
Instead
of
being
bitter
about
getting
trolled,
Sonu
had
the
perfect
solution.
"Their
kitchen
runs
with
this.
They
earn
money
on
every
tweet,
which
is
fair
enough.
I'm
telling
them
to
run
their
kitchens,
but
the
money
which
they
get
from
trolling,
help
someone
else,
don't
keep
it
all
at
home," he
said.
