Sonu once revealed that the money he earned for his last few endorsements has been 'given to charity'. "Sometimes they give it directly to a school or hospital, sometimes they route it through our charity-we are open to anything," he said about his philanthropic endeavours.
He also went on to narrate an incident where he convinced a hospital eager to collaborate with him and help the needy. "So, I said that I'll promote the hospitals, but give me 50 liver transplants."
The surgeries reportedly total up to a sum of Rs 12 crores. "As we speak, there are two transplants happening for people who would never be able to afford these surgeries. That's the magic of connecting the right dots. People come to you and say how can we help, and we find a way," he was quoted saying.
Sood won over the nation with his philanthropic deeds, especially during the covid-19 crisis. From helping labourers get home safely to starting services to help people find medical aid, the actor proved to be a real-life hero for his countrymen.
On the work front, Sonu will next be seen on the big screen in 'Prithviraj' which also stars Akshay Kumar and marks the Bollywood debut of Manushi Chillar.
