Ever
since
the
COVID-19
pandemic
raised
its
ugly
head
in
the
country,
Sonu
Sood
has
been
winning
hearts
with
his
philanthropic
work
so
much
so
that
the
actor
is
being
hailed
as
'messiah'
for
people
affected
by
the
pandemic.
From
helping
migrant
workers
to
reach
their
hometowns
during
the
first
lockdown
last
year
to
helping
with
healthcare
facilities
like
arranging
beds,
oxygen
cylinders,
concentrators,
and
more
during
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19,
Sonu's
transition
from
a
reel-life
hero
to
a
real
one
has
been
in
the
news
for
a
long
time.
Recently,
fans
from
Kurnool
and
Nellore
in
Andhra
Pradesh
poured
milk
on
Sonu's
picture
as
a
token
of
appreciation
for
his
humaritarian
work
after
he
had
set
up
an
oxygen
plant
in
the
city.
While
the
Dabangg
actor
was
humbled
by
the
gesture,
he
also
had
an
advice
for
them.
Sonu
reacted
to
a
video
of
fans
pouring
milk
on
his
pictures
on
his
Twitter
handle.
He
requested
them
to
save
that
milk
for
the
needy
rather
than
wasting
it
on
his
pictures.
The
actor
tweeted,
"Request
everyone
to
save
milk
for
someone
needy."
Last
week
too,
Sonu
had
shared
a
similar
video
of
fans
pouring
milk
on
his
life-sized
poster
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
captioned
it
as,
"Humbled." However
in
turn,
the
actor
got
bashed
on
social
media
for
not
condemning
the
wastage
of
milk.
This
time,
Sonu
decided
to
be
a
little
careful
with
his
choice
of
words
while
posting
such
videos.
On
the
other
hand,
television
actress
Kavita
Kaushik
had
earlier
slammed
Sonu's
fans
for
wasting
milk
and
tweeted,
"We
love
@SonuSood
and
the
nation
will
be
indebted
to
him
forever
for
his
selfless
acts,
but
I'm
sure
even
Sonu
will
be
unhappy
with
this
foolish
and
uninspiring
act
of
wasting
milk
in
times
where
people
are
dying
of
hunger..
why
are
we
so
extra
always
with
everything
??!!"
Speaking
about
his
philanthropic
work
amid
the
COVID-19
crisis,
Sonu
had
said
in
an
interview
that
it
is
the
responsibility
of
every
individual
to
take
it
on
their
shoulders
to
give
back
to
the
society
during
these
trying
times.
