10 Times Sonu Sood Became a Messiah For People and Emerged as Nation’s New Hero

The one good thing that came out of this Coronavirus-induced lockdown, was that India got to witness the birth of a new social hero in the form of Sonu Sood.

The actor not only came out as a saviour for those countless labour forces, stuck in metropolitan cities – amidst a state of panic, but he touched a resounding chord with everyone across the country, inspiring several others to follow his lead.

Eventually Sonu’s name was associated with a number of other incredible deeds, benefiting those in need.



The actor was seen stepping-up to yield a helping hand to several other people, be it the labour forces escaping cities barefoot, or people, directly or indirectly, implicated in financial turmoils due to the pandemic.

Here are 10 instances of Sonu Sood setting an example for others:

1) Arranged Transportation For Labour Forces

The actor helped send thousands of stranded labour forces, when the whole country was witnessing their suffering, in their attempt to migrate from cities on foot. He arranged buses, booked trains and arranged for flights – to send these migrant workers back home, and provided them with basic food and water at the start of their journey. In a heart-warming and iconic gesture, the actor instantly became a national hero. He even opened a toll-free helpline number to help out more such ‘stuck’ migrant workers.

My team and I have distributed food to over 28,000 people from the coastal areas across Mumbai and rehabilitated them in various schools and colleges. We are making sure all of them are safe,” he said in a statement.

6) Gifted tractor to a farmer

After promising to give an ‘ox’ to a struggling farmer, Sonu Sood gave him a tractor as a gift. “He is no less than a god to us,” the farmer later stated. The actor helped the farmer from Chittoor district, after a video of two girls tilling a farm went viral on internet. The girls were seen with a yoke on their shoulders, dragging to till the land as the family could not hire a tractor or oxen to plough the land. The tractor proved life changing for them.

9) Offered job to unemployed female techie

After news of a Hyderabad-based techie being forced to sell vegetables after losing her job in an MNC, due to the coronavirus pandemic came to light, Sonu Sood reached out to the girl to provide her a job. When the story went viral, people started approaching Sonu Sood – as he already seemed to have turned into Twitter’s new Sushma Swaraj (the late BJP leader who was infamous for helping out people based on Twitter requests), and he responded stating that he had already got in touch with her, had interviewed her and offered her a job. A true hero, really!

10) Vowed to open martial arts school for old lady

The internet applauded an old lady who was seen showcasing her lathi wielding skills as a street performer to earn money in a viral video. The video reached Sonu Sood, who eventually came up with his desire to open a martial arts school for her, in which she could teach young girls the ways of self-reliance.



“Can I get her details, please. Wanna open a small training school with her where she can train women of our country with some self-defense techniques.” – he said on Twitter.

Sonu Sood’s countless deeds for social welfare, and his assistance to the poor – has served as an inspiration to all of us. These are only some of the charitable causes he has been associated with.
