One of them has been Sonu Sood, who has extended his support to various causes during the crisis, be it offering his hotel for medical workers or providing food to those observing Ramzan fast. The actor’s recent initiative is making headlines and earning his praises not just from celebrities of the film industry but also those from sport and other fraternities.
