Since being shared, the trending post has garnered over 600 likes and 200 retweets.
Many users backed him, although some questioned why he ordered from a non-vegetarian restaurant.
"Sue them for punitive damages. You have a very strong case, given they have admitted their mistake when they offered compensation," wrote a user. Another said, "I don't know if you chose a veg restaurant while ordering. If not, there is no point in complaining."
Ko Sesha made his debut in 'Kanchana 2' and has also worked in 'Oh My Kadavuley'.
