Fan transfers Rs. 500 to 'Mangal Pandey' actor Rajesh Kareer; Sonu Sood reacts
Rajesh Kareer said, "Don't transfer any more money in my account. I have received enough and the struggle is mine from here on. Thanks for all the blessings."
Mangal Pandey actor Rajesh Kareer a few days back took to his Facebook account and revealed that he has been going through financial struggles due to COVID-19 lockdown, and needs help. In the video he requested his fans to donate money so that he can move to his hometown Punjab with his family after spending 15-16 years in Mumbai.
Seeing the video, a fan contributed Rs. 500 in his account. To this, Sonu Sood wrote that he was proud and it wasn't the amount but the thought that matters the most. Talking to a leading daily, Rajesh Kareer had said that he didn't approach Sood thinking he must be busy with so much already going on. Another reason why Kareer didn't approach Sood was because of the household goods that he has to travel which currently he won't be able to sell.
Well done Vaishali. It’s the thought that matters. Not the amount. So proud of you. ❣️ https://t.co/XhELJ0IdQp

Meanwhile, in his chat, the Begusarai actor also talked about his future plan. He said that he is planning to set a business in Punjab and desires to work in the Punjabi industry as well. His family will move to Punjab after getting the school leaving certificate of his son.
