Insight Bureau: Actor Sonu Sood with his selfless campaign for the homeless migrant workers during the lockdown, earned huge accolade. Interestingly, it gave him a heroic stature that has often eluded him after so many years. Social media was buzzing with news related to his kindness and magnanimity.

The entire Covid-19 crisis till this point has seen him emerges as a Good Samaritan.
Sonu has once again won hearts by coming forward and sought help from people to donate to treat one and a half year old boy Rajveer from Ambapada village in Kandhamal who is suffering from a rare genetic disorder.
Sood in a video message said, “We have seen in the past what public cooperation can do. People have been cured of this disease before. So, I request all to come forward and donate as per your capacity so that the child gets a new life.”
Rajveer from Ambapada village in Kandhamal has been suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder where a person can’t control the movement of muscles due to loss of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain stem. The doctors, who were treating Rajveer in Bangalore, have given a deadline of four months for the administration of the life-saving injection which costs 16 crore.
Sonu’s gesture is once again praised by millions. He has wished Rajveer’s speedy recovery.
