During Covid-19 times, the innumerable selfless gestures of Sonu Sood won hearts. While the actor is known for portraying grey and negative roles in Indian cinema, his gestures made him a true ‘hero’ of the nation. In the past, fans have always gushed about his kind and generous nature, appreciating his love for the country-men, and now, they gave a special tribute to the Happy New Year star on the eve of India’s 74th Republic Day, on January 26 by breaking world record and created an 87,000 sq.ft. poster of the star.
Sonu Sood woke up to a pleasant surprise on the eve of 74th Republic Day as news came in that an astounding portrait of the actor had been created in Kolhapur city of Maharashtra as a part of Republic Day celebrations. It took artist and fan of the actor Vipul Shiripad Mirajkar a few days to make this astounding portrait at a public park, using over 7 tons of rangoli powder. Overwhelmed by the work of art, the actor said, “I’m at a loss of words. I’m overwhelmed by this love and adulation. I’m full of gratitude.” The rangoli is now attracting thousands of visitors every day.
The work of the actor through his foundation Sood Charity Foundation started with helping migrants reach home during COVID lockdown and now it has extended its branches into multiple endeavors across fields like public health and education.
