Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who has become a real-life hero for his noble work during the tough times of the coronavirus-induced lockdown, is celebrating his 47th birthday today. While the actor has impressed us with his performances in films like Dabangg, Jodha Akbar, Simmba and others, Sonu has been termed as a 'messiah' on social media because of the amount of aid he provided migrant workers to reach their hometowns by arranging transportation, food and other essentials in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. While we are already seeing wonderful wishers from his fans on Twitter and Instagram, we've also stumbled upon an unseen throwback pic of the philanthropist with his father and by looking at that picture, the respect for Sonu in our eyes has risen manifold. Check it out here:
The actor recently revealed that he is set to come up with a book, where he will share his experiences of helping migrant workers during the pandemic situation. Talking about it, Sonu said, "The past three and half months have been a kind of a life-changing experience for me, living with the migrants for 16 to 18 hours a day and sharing their pain. When I go to see them off as they begin their journey back home, my heart is filled with joy and relief. Seeing the smiles on their faces, the tears of happiness in their eyes has been the most special experience of my life, and I pledged that I'll keep on working to send them back to their homes until the last migrant reaches his village, to his loved ones."
He added, "I believe I came to this city for this -- it was my purpose. I want to thank god for making me a catalyst in helping the migrants. While my heart beats in Mumbai, after this movement I feel a part of me lives in the villages of UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Uttarakhand and various other states, where I have now found new friends and made deep connections. I have decided to put these experiences, stories that are embedded in my soul forever, in a book."
On the work front, Sonu Sood will next be seen in Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Manushi Chillar starrer Prithviraj. Talking about the film, Sonu had earlier disclosed in a promotional event, "It's one of the most expensive films coming out this year, during Diwali. Akshay and I have worked together in three to four films, and all those films were huge hits. So, we hope to recreate that magic in this film, too." The film is directed by Dr Chandrapraksh Dwivedi and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films.
Here's wishing Sonu Sood a very happy birthday!
