Sonu Sood mortgages six flats, two shops to raise funds for needy

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety of one and all as the nation continues to grapple with the covid-19 infection. From airlifting stranded students to sending migrant workers home, the actor has proven how one person can make changes.

In the recent, it has been reported that the actor has mortgaged two shops located on the ground floor and six flats in Shiv Sagar CGHS in Juhu to raise 10 crore for needy

According to a report, Ritesh Mehta, Senior Director & Head – West India, Residential Services, JLL India, in a statement said, “Such a philanthropic gesture is unheard of. While these premium properties will continue to be owned by the actor and his wife and would continue to receive a monthly rental, they may have to pay interest and principal against the Rs 10 crore loan.”

Sonu Sood has been using social media sites to reach out to people who need help. He also arranged PPE kits for people while he continued to personally monitor each and every movement of his team.

In August, Sonu tweeted, “1137. mails 19000. fb messages 4812. Insta messages, 6741. twitter messages, Today’s HELP messages. On an average these are the number of requests I get for HELP. It is humanly impossible to reach out to everyone. I still try my best. Apologies if I missed your message.”

For the impact that the actor has left, he has been conferred with the prestigious SDG Special Humanitarian Action Award by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for his efforts.
