He clarified that he doesn’t believe in making any sensational political remarks and focuses only on his work.
Worried about his family and safety, Sonu said this is an alarming incident. He added that this user has been doing it for a while, and the screenshots of his tweets have been overwhelming for him. “My team reached out to him and insisted he fixed his handle name and stopped pretending to be me, as millions of people are being misled by the use of my surname.
