Actor
Sonu
Sood's
humanitarian
efforts
for
those
battling
with
COVID-19
have
been
winning
him
several
laurels.
From
providing
people
with
COVID-19
resources
like
hospital
beds,
oxygen
cylinders,
medicines,
Remdesivir
injections
and
plasmas
to
spreading
awareness
around
the
vaccination,
the
actor
has
been
doing
it
all.
Recently
he
has
also
opened
up
on
staying
in
touch
with
children
who
have
lost
one
or
both
their
parents
to
the
virus.
In
a
chat
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
the
Happy
New
Year
actor
said
that
he
is
fully
aware
of
the
condition
of
those
children
who
have
lost
their
parents
to
COVID-19.
The
actor
added
that
he
is
also
in
touch
and
is
aware
of
families
who
have
lost
their
main
earning
members
to
the
virus.
Sonu
Sood
further
spoke
about
requesting
the
government
to
make
the
education
of
the
COVID-19
orphans
free
and
to
provide
regular
pension
to
the
families
who
have
lost
their
main
earning
member.
Elaborating
on
the
same,
the
Jodha
Akbar
actor
said,
"11-12
states
have
already
announced
free
education
for
kids
and
some
pension.
But
I
think
much
more
needs
to
be
done
in
this
matter.
Efforts
to
help
Covid
orphans
need
to
be
more
consolidated.
We
need
to
find
a
more
permanent
financial
solution
to
the
crisis.
Compensation
and
pension
should
go
not
only
to
children
in
government
schools
but
also
in
private
schools.
Orphaned
children
are
equally
vulnerable
in
every
situation.
Why
look
at
only
children
in
government
schools."
For
the
unversed,
Sonu
Sood
had
taken
to
his
social
media
handle
to
share
a
video
wherein
he
could
be
seen
requesting
the
government
to
provide
free
education
to
the
children
who
lost
their
parents
during
the
COVID-19
second
wave.
The
Simmba
actor
captioned
the
same
stating,
"Need
to
come
together
for
every
individual
who's
lost
a
loved
one
in
this
pandemic." Sonu
had
begun
the
video
by
saying
that
this
is
his
request
for
all
the
state
governments
as
well
as
the
organizations
who
wish
to
help.
The
actor
had
said
that
it
is
his
request
to
the
central
and
state
government
as
well
as
to
the
organizations
that
wish
to
help
that
there
should
be
a
rule
formulated
that
should
allow
the
education
of
these
children,
right
from
their
school
to
college
to
happen
free
of
cost.
He
had
added
that
this
rule
should
be
implied
for
all
such
children
irrespective
of
whether
they
are
from
a
government
or
a
private
school.
Actress
Priyanka
Chopra
had
also
backed
up
his
initiative.
