Actor Sonu Sood is being trolled for his controversial statement where he defended a food vendor for spitting on rotis during the preparation. He faced an intense backlash from netizens for drawing a reference to Hindu mythology to support his personal views and speaking in support of the roti makers. About a day later, social media continued to trend with memes posted on this issue, which condemned the actor's remarks comparing Lord Ram eating Shabri’s berries.

People shared memes after he felt there was nothing wrong about offering spit-added food to people.

More about Sonu Sood's post
Sood's post read (translated from Hindi), "Our Shri Ram Ji ate the sour berries of Shabri, so why can't I eat them? Violence can be defeated by non-violence my brother. Humanity must just remain intact. Jai Shri Ram."
The mythological event comes from the epic Ramayana and describes the woman as an ardent devotee of the Lord who would first taste berries in order to assure their quality, before offering them to the Lord.
