"I have received a lot of love from people over the past few months. And that has motivated me to continue being there for them. So, I have launched the `Khud kamaao ghar chalaao` initiative," the 47-year-old said. 

"I believe providing job opportunities is more important than distributing supplies. I'm sure that this initiative will help them stand on their feet yet again by making them self-reliant and self-sufficient," he added. 

Earlier this year, Sood had launched the Pravasi Rojgar app that created more than 50,000 job opportunities for those who lost their job due to the economic blow due to Covid pandemic.The app connects them to multiple companies and also offers specific programs to help improve their skills.

The actor has been inspiring many across the country with his noble gestures. He began by helping stranded migrant labourers return to their native places by arranging safe travel for them back in May this year. He has been seen helping out the needy and underprivileged sections of the country.
