KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sonu Sood posted a video of himself sitting by the door on a moving train.
  • A few government agencies have since called the actor out for sending a ‘wrong message’ to his fans.
  • Most recently, the Northern Railway said the stunt was dangerous and advised him to not repeat it.
Sonu Sood, who helped thousands of stranded migrant workers get home during the Covid-19 crisis, seemingly showed little concern for personal safety when he was seen travelling “on the footboard” of a moving train in a viral video — and the Northern Railway wasn’t too pleased.

The video dated December 13, 2022 shows Sood, 49, sitting by the door on a train.

Even at the time, the Government Railway Police (GRP) had asked the actor to save the antics for the movies.

“.@SonuSood travelling on the footboard may be a source of ‘Entertainment’ in movies, not real life! Let’s follow all safety guidelines and ensure a ‘Happy New Year’ for all,” the agency tweeted.

Now, in a somewhat less-condescending advisory, the Northern Railway told the “I Am No Messiah” author that he may have been sending a “wrong message” to his fans by throwing caution to the wind.

You are a role model for millions of people in the country and the world. Traveling on train steps is dangerous, this type of video may send wrong message to your fans.

Please do not do this! Enjoy a smooth and safe journey.”

Other users, too, weighed in to assert how influential people have a responsibility towards people.

“Being a role model for many across the country, you should NOT post or encourage such videos!,” wrote one.

“If your enthusiastic fans start making videos sitting at the open entrance of a running train, it will put their lives in serious danger.”
