He wrote, "The roti smeared with spit should be parcelled to Sonu Sood so that brotherhood remains intact." In response to the post, Sonu defended the person spitting in the clip and wrote, "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."

Shabri was an old tribal devotee of Lord Ram. When the demon king Ravana kidnaps Goddess Sita, Lord Rama, along with his brothers Laxman and Vanar Sena, goes in search of her. This is when they visited Shabri's ashram. She joyously welcomed them and served them berries to eat. Drowned in her bhakti for the supreme almighty, Shabri fed chewed berries to Lord Ram.
