Actor Sonu Sood was slammed by the Northern Railway for sitting on the footboard of a moving train. The railway called it ‘dangerous.’ The Northern Railway’s response came after the actor posted a clip on Twitter of him sitting on the footboard of a moving train last month.
They reposted Sonu Sood’s clip on their official site. They wrote, “Dear, @SonuSood, You are a role model for millions of people in the country and the world.” They added that traveling on train steps is dangerous. This type of video may send the wrong message to his fans. They requested him not to do this. They concluded, “Enjoy a smooth and safe journey.” The actor posted a video of him sitting on the footboard of a moving train as he held the handle on his side near the train door.
प्रिय, @SonuSood
देश और दुनिया के लाखों लोगों के लिए आप एक आदर्श हैं। ट्रेन के पायदान पर बैठकर यात्रा करना खतरनाक है, इस प्रकार की वीडियो से आपके प्रशंसकों को गलत संदेश जा सकता है।
कृपया ऐसा न करें! सुगम एवं सुरक्षित यात्रा का आनंद उठाएं। https://t.co/lSMGdyJcMO

The Mumbai Railway Police Commissionerate cautioned the actor for his performance. He said that such a trick would work in movies for entertainment purposes but not in real life. GRP Mumbai said that traveling on the footboard may be a source of ‘Entertainment’ in movies, not real life. He advised everyone to follow all safety guidelines. He wished happy new year too.
Fans commented fiercely. One user wrote, “Travelling by sitting on the door of the train is an invitation to an accident. You are an inspiration to millions of people, crores of people are your fans.” That person said that by doing this fans of Sonu Sood can do the same. Fans have asked him to delete this video and inspire people to travel safely.
