Sonu
Sood
has
become
a
real-life
hero
for
many
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
The
actor
has
been
actively
helping
people
with
his
philanthropy
work
amid
the
ongoing
crisis.
And
now,
Sonu
has
got
a
critically
ill
COVID-19
patient
airlifted
in
an
air
ambulance
from
Nagpur
to
Hyderabad
on
Friday.
The
patient
named
Bharti
had
lost
almost
85-90
per
cent
of
her
lungs
due
to
the
virus
and
was
in
need
of
special
treatment.
She
was
moved
with
Sonu's
help
to
the
Apollo
Hospital
in
Hyderabad
from
Nagpur.
According
to
an
ANI
report,
the
doctors
had
said
that
she
needed
a
lung
transplant
or
a
special
treatment
called
ECMO
which
was
only
available
in
the
Hyderabad
hospital.
Speaking
about
the
same,
Sonu
said,
"Doctors
had
said
that
the
chances
are
20
per
cent
and
asked
me
whether
I
still
wanted
to
go
ahead
with
it.
I
said
'Of
course.
She
is
a
25-year-old
young
girl
and
she
will
fight
the
battle
hard
and
she
will
come
out
of
it
stronger.'
That's
why
we
took
this
chance
and
we
decided
to
get
an
air
ambulance
and
the
best
team
of
doctors
in
the
country
to
treat
her.
The
treatment
is
going
well
in
Apollo
Hospital,
Hyderabad,
and
we
hope
for
the
best.
She
will
recover
and
come
back
soon."
For
the
unversed,
Sonu
Sood
took
to
social
media
yesterday
to
inform
his
fans
and
followers
that
he
has
tested
negative
for
COVID-19.
It
must
be
noted
that
the
actor
had
tested
positive
for
the
virus
on
April
17.
He
had
shared
the
news
in
a
statement
on
his
Instagram
page
last
week.
Meanwhile,
the
47-year-old
has
also
been
recently
appointed
as
the
brand
ambassador
for
Punjab's
anti-Coronavirus
vaccination
programme.
