Sonu took to Twitter and announced, “Now, the whole country will come together. Join me on Telegram channel with  India Fights with Covid’. We will join hands and save the nation.’

The Dabangg star also posted a graphic, where he used words like ‘We will all join and help everyone.’ It also mentioned that hospitals, medicines and oxygen will now be provided by ‘you.’

For the last few days, Sonu has been promising help to numerous persons who are approaching him on Twitter. He had also shared that he could not sleep, as he was flooded with calls, seeking his help.

He also made strong statements that he could 'lose' some days and win otherwise, that his heart was 'broken' but not his spirit and that he would not stop working for the mission. Right from arranging over 100 oxygen and Remdesivir requests and over 500 hospital beds to airlifting a patient from Nagpur to Hyderabad, his efforts have been earning praises from netizens. 

On the personal front, Sonu himself contracted COVID-19, but recovered within a week. This was after he had received one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. He had also launched the ‘biggest vaccination drive’ to spread awareness about the importance of immunisation.
