According to NDTV, the actor in a statement mentioned:
“On November 3, I placed an order on food delivery app Swiggy. After some time the status of the order changed to delivered but I never received the food. However, I want to draw your attention because I feel anybody can face this issue. What if someone relies on a food app to get food delivered for their guests and their food never arrives? What is someone is depending on these food apps for their dinner? Will they stay hungry?”

One humble request Bumbada, we know hunger is an issue but we can’t trivialise these things with such silly letters. You are an influential actor please try to help the needy in whichever way possible & help the government by raising awareness about hunger & poverty. pic.twitter.com/NmWUfq3CHY

According to The Indian Express, Prosenjit responded after being slammed online and said that he did not tweet his complaint “as an actor”.
“I have tweeted this not as ‘actor Prosenjit Chatterjee’, but as a fellow citizen so that no one faces this kind of problem in the near future. I know some people might laugh at this tweet but I just wanted to make people aware that people hailing from the service industry should be more responsible. I have no personal grudge against anybody.”

He further added, “I have mentioned Narendra Modi Ji and our CM Mamata di in my tweet as I want people in the service industry to be more responsible. These days, we are all dependent on all kinds of apps and I personally use them and appreciate them. But people, who are serving food or medicines through apps, should be even more responsible.”
