Sonu Sood helps mistreated old people in Madhya Pradesh

Actor Sonu Sood turned out to be a ‘messiah’ for the needy and poor in the desperate times of pandemic situation in the country last year. The times have changed, but it has not changed the humanity and good will of the actor. After seeing a video that has been viral on social media where a group of elderly people has been mistreated, Sonu decided to organise a residential accommodation for  those old people.

In the video, we can see a group of old folks in Madhya Pradesh being mistreated by employees of the local municipal corporation, who then packed the bunch in a bus and dumped them in the outskirts of Indore, on the Indore-Dewas highway. Netizens were outraged on seeing the video and expressed their anger through their social networking sites.

Sonu Sood has extended a helping hand for these elderly people. He has shared a video message on social media in which he has urged everyone residing in Indore to join him in providing a safe space for the old.

In the video message, Sonu said “Yesterday, I had come across this piece of news where the elderly were ostracised from the city and dumped in the outskirts. I would like to urge my brothers and sisters from Indore to come together and work towards providing a roof over their heads. I want to give them their rights back. I would also like to distribute food and drinking water to them. All this will be difficult to achieve without your help. This should be a lesson to all the children out there who have left their aged parents. They should hold them close and take care of them. Dear citizens of Indore, let us come together and set an example so that the elderly are never left to feel lonely and helpless. I will try to give them their rights back. This should be a lesson to all the children out there who have left and ostracised their aged parents. They should hold them close and take care of them.”

What do you have to say about this gesture of Sonu?
