From working outdoors in extreme conditions to being physically assaulted and even being underpaid for putting their sweat and blood into delivering food and other products to customers, being a delivery executive is definitely not an easy job, especially in India.
You would rarely find people who would happily volunteer to become a full-time delivery agent as several people swear by the fact that it’s not an easy job.
Hence, when Indian actress Sobhita Dhulipala posted a picture sitting on her scooty, wanting to be a delivery boy, people called her out for being insensitive towards the situation of delivery executives in the country.

People thought that through her tone-deaf statement, she was belittling the hardships of these guys.
People on Twitter also didn’t appreciate her caption:

Do you think people went a little overboard with criticizing her for her remark that seemed harmless and funny to the actor?
