The Mumbai Railway Police and Northern Railway criticized his behaviour with their comments.
.@SonuSood travelling on the footboard may be a source of ‘Entertainment’ in movies, not real life! Let’s follow all safety guidelines and ensure a ‘Happy New Year’ for all.

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

He issued an apology by stating he wanted to experience how millions of poor people feel when commuting on the train while sitting close to its door.

It is pertinent to mention that people have died or life-threatening injuries by falling off trains due to improper seating accommodations.
