“When Sonu’s straw steals the spotlight”, the caption on Sonu Sood and Khabi Lame's collaboration read as their first TikTok video went viral. The actor and humanitarian Sonu Sood have touched millions of people's hearts during the COVID lockdown. Helping others in their time of need became a habit of his. When he met prominent TikToker Khaby Lame, his act of kindness backfired on him this time. And his funny response had many people in splits.
For the uninitiated, the Senegalese-born Italian social media star shared a humorous video featuring the Bollywood actor on Wednesday. Sonu and Khaby are seen in the video sitting next to one another with two cups and a container of juice. Khaby continues to read through his phone as Sonu pours nearly all the juice into his glass.
As the video goes on, we see the actor pour the last few drops into his own glass. Khaby notices this and bends forward as if about to pick up Sonu's juice glass. Sonu kindly pushes Khaby's hand away and refuses to give him his glass. But Khaby grabs the straw and takes both his drink and the straw with him, disappointing Sonu.
The video has received over 4 million views on Instagram thus far and has gone viral online. The internet also responded with some witty remarks. One user commented, "Emotional damage," while another added, "Gajab Bejjati Hai!"—a well-known line from the Amazon Prime Video series Panchayat. Laughing emojis were seen all over the comments section.
On the professional front, the 49-year-old actor was most recently seen in Akshay Kumar's Samrat Prithviraj. He portrayed a court poet who wrote about Prithviraj Chauhan's life.
