During the lockdown, Sood helped thousands of migrant labourers reach home, paid the loans of farmers and tackled various other problems. Later, the actor also gave a glimpse to the number of HELP MAILS he receives explaining his inability to answer everyone.
Sood, who also got UN HOUNR for his service, wrote about his experiences in his memoir ‘I Am No Messiah’.
