New Delhi: Sonu Sood has long been more than just a Bollywood actor; he’s become a symbol of compassion and hope for countless people across the country.

He has arranged transport for stranded migrant workers, provided shelter for healthcare workers and helped students continue their education.

Sonu Sood to provide cattle to elderly farmer
Sonu vowed to help the farmer by arranging cattle for him. He wrote, "You send me the number, I will send the cattle." When a user noted in the video that the elderly farmers were too old to drive a bullock cart, the actor responded, explaining that since they couldn’t manage a tractor, cattle seemed a more suitable option. "Our farmer brother doesn’t know how to drive a tractor, so cattle is better, friend," Sonu replied.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck India, Sonu emerged as a real-life hero, extending a helping hand to those in desperate need. As migrant labourers were forced to walk hundreds of kilometres to their hometowns, the actor arranged buses, trains, and meals for them. Sonu later launched Pravaasi Rojgar, which is an employment initiative for returning migrants. He also came forward to support healthcare workers, offering them free accommodation at his Juhu hotel when many were turned away from their homes out of fear of infection.
His kindness didn’t stop there. Understanding the importance of education during lockdown, Sonu provided smartphones and tablets to underprivileged students so they wouldn’t miss their online classes. The actor spoke up for students during the NEET exam controversy, offering to arrange their travel if needed. Beyond India’s borders, he helped stranded Indian students return home. As word of his efforts spread, people across the country began reaching out to him on social media for help, and Sonu did his best to respond to every plea.
