On Sunday a temple dedicated to Sonu Sood was inaugurated in Telangana. Located in the village of Dubba Tanda in the Siddipet district, the temple has been built to recognize the humanitarian work done by the Bollywood star.
Sood helped thousands of stranded migrant workers reach their places of origin during the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
Speaking to ANI, a local resident said: “It helped a lot of people during the pandemic. It is a source of great joy for us that we have built his temple. “
Sonu Sood, who has been receiving praise from various quarters, is overwhelmed by the gesture. He said in a statement: “This is an extremely overwhelming time. But at the same time I don’t deserve it. I’m just an ordinary man who helped his brothers and sisters. “
Earlier this month, Sood had mortgaged his properties in Mumbai, including two stores and six floors, to raise Rs 10 crore to help the disadvantaged, migrant workers and patients suffering from serious illnesses.
