There are two sides to every coin. So, while we’ve seen social media bring about a positive change in society, we’ve seen the ugly side of it too. Recently, a few people online questioned Sonu Sood’s charity work during the pandemic, calling it just a PR gig by his team, reports Mumbai Mirror. The ‘Dabangg’ actor, who has helped several people during these testing times, responded to one such comment and shared proof of his hard work too.

It all began when a twitter user named Snehal Misal asked Sonu to help her seriously ill-son. However, as Sonu promptly offered his help to the woman, people reportedly found something fishy about the situation. People online quickly pointed out that the account was just created in October, and the user had only 2-3 followers, reports News18.
Tomorrow your son will be admitted to SRCC Hospital Mumbai. Surgery will be scheduled this week ❣️🙏 https://t.co/nym4H8Z2gr

Many questioned how the actor found the account since he was not tagged in the post.
New twitter A/c
Only 2-3 followers
One Tweet
Never tagged Sonu Sood
No location mentioned
No contact details
No email addressBut Sonu Sood somehow found the Tweet and offered help.
Most of the earlier handles who sought help deleted their tweets
This is how PR team works https://t.co/6kD4igeHfI

Even the dm can be sent on any other social networking platform and it can be from a friend or a family member. We should not question @SonuSood who is selflessly working for the betterment of people.

Keep it up.. people problem is that they always want MEDIA COVERAGE over every good deed but the person that does with clean heart ❤️ doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody 💕💕

Well, while it’s okay to ask questions, it’s certainly unfair to dismiss someone’s hard work altogether. What do you think about the incident? Tell us.
