Actor Sonu Sood recently grabbed attention for an unexpected reason — rescuing a rat snake with his bare hands at his residential society in Mumbai. Known for his humanitarian efforts, Sood calmly handled the situation and used the opportunity to emphasize the importance of wildlife safety and professional intervention.
On Saturday, the actor shared a video of the rescue on Instagram, where he was seen confidently picking up the non-venomous snake and placing it inside a pillow cover. He then instructed his team to release the snake into a nearby forested area, ensuring it was returned safely to its natural habitat.
In the video, Sood is seen issuing a strong message to viewers: “Very, very important to be careful. Always call professionals, don’t try this. This one came inside our society. This is a rat snake, non-venomous, but we have to be very careful. Sometimes they enter our societies, so it’s important to call professionals. I know a little bit about how to catch them, that’s why I did it, but be careful. It’s very, very important to be cautious. Always call professionals, don’t try this yourself.”
While many social media users praised Sood for his courage and presence of mind, the post also sparked a mix of reactions online. “This is scripted,” one user alleged, accusing the actor of staging the event for views.
Others came to his defense, applauding his consistent acts of kindness and bravery.
“Sonu Sood, you are great. You have done a lot towards humanity even during the Corona period,” a fan wrote. Another called him a “Real life hero.”
But some continued to express skepticism, with one saying, “You recorded the video for fame.”
This isn’t the first time Sonu Sood has made headlines for helping those in need. Just days prior to the snake rescue, he extended support to Ambadas Pawar, a 76-year-old farmer from Maharashtra’s Latur district, who went viral in a video manually ploughing his field due to his inability to afford bullocks.
From pandemic relief to personal interventions and now wildlife rescues, Sonu Sood continues to be seen by many as a real-life hero, both on and off the screen.
