There have been only two Bollywood celebrities who managed to remain in limelight constantly during the coronavirus lockdown – Kangana Ranaut and Sonu Sood. Kangana got everybody’s attention because of her controversial statements and allegations that she leveled on some big names of the industry after the sudden demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
On the other hand, Sonu Sood made headlines because of the efforts that he made in arranging transportation for the migrant laborers so that they could return to their homes. The actor who was seen playing mostly negative characters in films became the real life messiah for many as he must have sent thousands of laborers home.

The incident that motivated him to help migrant workers
During an interview, Sonu Sood said that he got very disturbed when he saw that migrant workers were walking on foot with their kids and luggage as they had no other means to return to their homes and due to lockdown, they were left with no money either to survive because of no work. He talked about an incident as per which he was at Kalwa Chowk, Thane, Mumbai, and distributing food to some people over there when he saw that a group of people was walking with luggage and children. He stopped them and interacted with them. They were on a journey to Karnataka and the actor somehow managed to convince them to wait for some days so that he could arrange for their journey.
As per Sonu Sood, the day those people left for Karnataka, he went to meet them in the bus and they all were smiling and crying at the same time with happiness. Sonu said that this incident motivated him to help more migrant workers. In order to make it easy for people to contact him, Sonu Sood used to interact through his official Twitter account and timely help was provided to the needy by his team.

I don’t know if Sonu Sood has money to help people or not, but he definitely has money to hire an agency to buy paid tweets that’ll attack whoever is criticising him. So lame. 🤣

P.s. I take back all the praises I tweeted in the past for Sonu Sood. Looks like the claims of him helping people were just a sham, most of the people he helped have deactivated their accounts. Aise kaise ho sakta hai yaar.

@SonuSood from day 1, my gut feeling said.. there is some hidden agenda behind your so called “social work”. Public is not fool. If you want to do good to society no need to be in limelight so much for that.

Fraudiye Chanda Kumar @SonuSood,
Give due credit to those who DONATED. Don’t take the whole credit you fraudster.
Dusro ke jeb se paisa nikalne ka aur hero banne ka dhanda band kar. Public your Personal Donation.
This was done so that people don’t contribute to PM Relief Fund? pic.twitter.com/WOBoffSEpk— Sunaina Holey (@SunainaHoley) September 19, 2020

Sonu Sood isn’t the only fraud on Twitter. Several low-level Bollywood people have been boasting about the work they’re doing to help people like they’re Ambani or something. Where is the money coming from?

Alarming if true. Very easy to play with emotions of Indian public – Many religious gurus and politicians have been doing it till now – But didnt expect from #SonuSood
Sad!! https://t.co/wdjwTZ6fJB

As far as the question of becoming a politician is concerned, Sonu Sood has denied entering politics many times. He feels that there is still a lot remaining for him to do as an actor and he is not ready to become a political leader.
