Using His Influence To Help Those In Need
In March, the actor joined the Operation Ganga project, an evacuation measure after President Vladimir Putin's Russia decided to launch a military invasion of Ukraine. Since the start of the aggression, India boosted its evacuation process in order to help bring back countless students home. Even as the Central government plans to bring approximately 6,300 Indians back to the country by March 8 as part of Operation Ganga, Sonu also opted to become a part of it to help in the cause.
Numerous stranded students from Lviv to Kyiv have reached out to the 48-year-old on social media, asking for assistance. The Sood Foundation quickly responded to these requests and helped those get in touch with the Indian embassies in Poland and Romania. Furthermore, numerous students took to social media and shared clips of how Sonu helped them return back to India. For the unversed, when the COVID pandemic-induced lockdown in 2020 was at its peak, Sood also assisted numerous migrant labourers in returning to their homes.
