Popular actress and singer Sophie Choudry took to social media today to express her outrage after an alleged hit-and-run incident involving a Swiggy delivery rider in Mumbai’s Khar West. The incident, which occurred on Friday, has sparked a conversation about road safety and the accountability of delivery personnel working for food delivery platforms.

In a tweet, Sophie wrote, “Hey @Swiggy @SwiggyCares one of your riders has hit my car badly and run away at 1.15pm right here on my road in khar west. It’s completely his fault and it’s absolutely disgusting that he just ran off!! I’m a regular Swiggy customer but is this what your guys do on the road??!!” The strongly worded message tagged both Swiggy and its customer care handle, SwiggyCares, calling attention to the incident and questioning the company’s oversight of its riders.

In response to the tweet, Swiggy replied, “Hello Sophie, we sincerely regret this incident and understand how distressing it must be. Safety and accountability are of utmost importance to us.” Now, neither the actress nor the online food ordering and delivery company has shared an update on the matter.

On the other hand, netizens were quick to react to the incident. “We understand that delivery partners face immense pressure—late deliveries can mean penalties or earnings loss—but that doesn’t justify reckless behavior on the road,” wrote an X user while the other one read, “I know its his fault but atleast dont ask the swiggy guy to fix your car.”
