The Bollywood actor had helped 25-year-old Bharti by getting her airlifted Nagpur to Hyderabad’s Apollo Hospital. After that as well, Sonu got a critically ill COVID-19 patient airlifted from Jhansi to Hyderabad, to the same hospital.

Earlier this month, Sonu had made headlines when he appealed to the government to provide free education to kids who had lost their parents to the deadly COVID-19. Many celebrities including Priyanka Chopra supported his initiative and amplified it on their social media accounts.

Sonu Sood has been in the limelight since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in India as he has extended a helping hand to migrant workers and patients numerous times.

The 'Dabangg' actor got his first dose of vaccination at Apollo Hospital, in Punjab on April 7. Sood had contracted the Coronavirus on April 17, however, he recovered fairly fast and restarted his philanthropic work for COVID-affected people.
