The actor was recently part of Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year’ 2020 Awards. During the interaction the Happy New Year star hailed the MVA govt for their work in the state amid the COVID-19 crisis. The actor said, that the govt is doing their job, continuing further he said, our biggest problem is that we are pushing everything on the government. Sonu added, citizens of the country should also lend a helping hand in these tough times, as the government will continue to do their job but there is no limit as to what one can do individually. The actor urged everyone to bring about a change in mindset.

The actor also opened up how a netizen from Uttar Pradesh’s Ramkola wrote to Sonu Sood on Twitter about many getting injured by a monkey who was ‘terrorising’ the villagers. “We request you to please arrange for sending it to the forests,” he wrote. He also posted a newspaper clipping of the incident, that claimed that 20-25 people had been hurt by the monkey and that the villagers were struggling to get it caught.Sonu was amused, and replied, “Catching a monkey was the only thing left. Send me the address, let me try this too.”After arranging for the return of migrants, Sonu Sood donated face shields to police, provided funds for medical treatment, rehabilitation of homes and more.
