Sonu Sood to help village suffering from monkey menace 

A netizen from Uttar Pradesh’s Ramkola wrote to Sonu Sood on Twitter about many getting injured by a monkey who was ‘terrorising’ the villagers. “We request you to please arrange for sending it to the forests,” he wrote. He also posted a newspaper clipping of the incident, that claimed that 20-25 people had been hurt by the monkey and that the villagers were struggling to get it caught.

Sonu was amused, and replied, “Catching a monkey was the only thing left. Send me the address, let me try this too.”

Many of the actor’s responses during the COVID-19 lockdown had gone viral. Like when a netizen sought Sonu’s help to elope with his girlfriend, he had joked that he would arrange for their parents to join them too. Right from people asking him for a car, PlayStation and more, Sonu’s tongue-in-cheek responses had become a talking point.
