Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit India, Sonu Sood has behaved as a Good Samaritan for many people. The actor has dedicated his social media platforms to help those in need. People have praised his charitable work, with Bigg Boss 14 contestant Rakhi Sawant endorsing him as India’s next Prime Minister. However, the actor isn’t on board with the idea.
Sonu was spotted providing summer drinks to photographers underneath his apartment and discussing Rakhi’s proposal, he said,” Hum aam insaan ache hai bhai, aam insaan better hai (I’m better off as a common man),” he said. A photographer suggested he should try his hand in politics. Responding to it, Sonu said, “Bhai log khade hai na humare, kya karenge elections mein khade ho ke? Wo apna kaam nahi hai na (My brothers are fighting elections, what will I do with the elections, that’s not my work).”
Rakhi isn’t the only one who has spoken for the actress. Vir Das, the actor-comedian, subtly supported the Dabangg star a few days back. “@thevirdas for prime minister 2024,” a Twitter user said last week. In response to the tweet, Vir said, “Wrong number. Dial Sonu Sood” He also used an emoji with folded hands in his tweet.
Sonu has been hard at work organising beds, oxygen equipment, and medications for those battling Covid-19 in the second wave. He was recently spotted assisting Indian cricketer Suresh Raina, who had demanded an oxygen cylinder for his aunt. The actor had previously posted a video of his phone continuously ringing with help-seeking calls.
