Sonu Sood
Sonu Sood (born 30 July 1973) is
an Indian film actor, producer, and humanitarian who acts predominantly
in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Punjabi films.
In 2009, he received the Andhra Pradesh State Nandi Award for Best
Villain and the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Telugu for
his work in the Telugu blockbuster Arundhati.[3] In 2010, he garnered the Apsara
Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role and the IIFA Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role for
the Bollywood blockbuster Dabangg.[4] In 2012, he received the SIIMA
Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role for Julayi.[5] He is best known for roles in
blockbuster films such as Yuva (2004), Athadu (2005), Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005), Jodhaa Akbar (2008), Dabangg (2010), Dookudu (2011), Shootout at Wadala (2013), Happy New Year (2014), Kung Fu Yoga (2017) and Simmba (2018).
Sonu Sood has taken it upon himself to unite migrant workers with
their families and make them reach their homes safely amid the ongoing Covid-19
crisis and nationwide lockdown. And his relentless efforts have earned him
admiration and adulation from all parts of the country. More so because his
endeavour isn’t just limited to Maharashtra, as he has been getting requests
from all over India.
Sood,46, explains that journey by trains and flights save time and
can accommodate more people. “Buses would take longer and also we’d need to
take permissions from every state it crosses, which takes time. Thanks to
everyone, who has been extending supporting? Itne saalo se dost hi to kamaye
hai maine, wahi abhi mera saath de rahe hain,” he adds.
Risking his own and his family’s health, Sood steps out daily so
that work runs smoothly.
“My team
and I take necessary precautions. I need to step out to monitor everything,
check if things are in place. I don’t believe in half-hearted efforts,” says
the Simba actor, who has donated to charities, offered his Juhu hotel to
health-care personnel and provided food to 25,000 migrants during Ramzan.
No
doubt he’s been showered with love, so much so that one migrant worker has
named her son after the actor. “Their smile films my heart, makes me believe
I’m serving the purpose of my life,” says Sood.
Recently, Governor of Maharashtra, Bhagat Singh Koshyari,
congratulated the actor, and “assured me with help whenever required”. Sood’s
industry colleagues, filmmaker Farah Khan, actors Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Neha
Dhupia, Dia Mirza, Suniel Shetty, among others, have also been praising him.
Has
anyone also extended financial support too, we ask. “Initially, I was doing
things on my own, but now many people from within the industry and outside have
come forward to help. Some are keen on sponsoring a bus or book tickets for
migrants. Like Farah provided drinking water. It has become like a movement
now,” he concludes.
So here i have written something for the great human being i.e. Sonu Sood, I hope you people will like it:
