“Galat Sandesh”: Northern Railway Pulls Up Sonu Sood For Travelling At Train Footboard. His Reply
Northern Railway had pulled up actor Sonu Sood after he posted a video in December 2022 of him sitting on the footboard of a moving train.

“You are a role model for millions of people in the country and the world. Traveling on train steps is dangerous, this type of video may send wrong message to your fans. Please do not do this! Enjoy a smooth and safe journey,” Northern Railway tweeted.
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

बस यूँ ही बैठ गया था देखने,
कैसा महसूस करते होंगे वो लाखों ग़रीब जिनकी ज़िंदगी अभी भी ट्रेन के दरवाज़ों पे गुज़रती है।
धन्यवाद इस संदेश के लिए और देश की रेल व्यवस्था बेहतर करने के लिए। https://t.co/F4a4vKKhFy
