Actor Sonu Sood with Telangana IT and Industries Minister K Taraka Rama Rao
Actor Sonu Sood took to Twitter this evening to thank Telangana IT and Industries Minister K Taraka Rama Rao for treating him to "the world's best veg biryani". The note of thanks came after Mr Sood, a vegetarian, became the target of some lighthearted trolling last month when he asked the minister to "keep the Hyderabad biryani" ready for him. His tweet had sparked a flurry of amused comments with Twitter users rushing to remind him that Hyderabad biryani is traditionally a non-vegetarian preparation.
On Tuesday, when Mr Sood called on the minister at his office at Pragati Bhavan, and was treated to veg biryani at lunch. "Thank you so much brother for treating me with the world's best veg biryani," Mr Sood wrote on Twitter, responding to Mr Rao's tweet praising him for his "selfless service" during the pandemic.
"Now I can officially say, 'You are the best host in Telangana'," he added.
Sonu Sood has been in the limelight for his philanthropic work during the pandemic. During the meeting, KTR, as the minister is popularly known, reportedly praised him for his work during the coronavirus crisis.
Mr Sood had shared photos from the meeting on Tuesday. "Thank you so much for all the love and warmth my brother @KTRTRS," he wrote, tagging the minister. "You are a visionary, a leader who sets an example of empathy," he said.
Mr Rao had earlier hailed Sonu Sood a "super hero" for his charity efforts. The meeting on Tuesday ended with the minister honouring the actor with a shawl.
