“I am not going to make a habit of explaining myself,” says Sonu Sood : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama

May 19, 2021

It is comprehensible when trolls assault Sonu Sood’s relentless efforts to assist the Covid-19 distressed. We all know the place these trolls are coming from. And Sonu rightly ignores most l of these questioning his noble work. But when you might have a District Magistrate refuting Sonu’s philanthropy then it’s time for a response.

This is what occurred when Sonu’s group helped a needy man get a hospital mattress in Odisha. The District Magistrate of Ganjam district in Odisha challenged Sonu’s endeavour tweeting, “We don’t received any communication from @SoodFoundation or @SonuSood . Requested patient is in Home isolation and stable. No bed issues @BrahmapurCorp is monitoring it. @CMO_Odish.”

Sonu responded tweeting, “Sir, we by no means claimed that we approached you, it is the needy who approached us and we organized the mattress for him, hooked up are the chats on your reference. Ur workplace is doing a nice job & u can double test that we had helped him too. Have DM you his contact particulars. Jai hind.”

Speaking to Sonu Sood on why he thought it necessary to respond to this particular tweet, he explained, “The denial (of the effort made to get a hospital bed for the Ganjam citizen) came from a responsible government officer. It was therefore something I had to take seriously. I did not want any miscommunication or any misunderstanding with the administration. I am sure they are doing their utmost to help the people of their district. However, this person did approach us with an SOS for a hospital bed. And we did arrange it, but not to be one-up on the administration.”

Sonu feels the human ego should be the last consideration in this battle to defeat COVID-19. “We are all this together. Whether the helping hand comes from the administration or an individual an Indian citizen like me, it is all part of the same endeavour to help the distressed during these critical times. This is no occasion for one-upmanship, Maine kiya, nahin maine kiya…all this is meaningless right now.”

However, Sonu has no intentions of explaining his behaviour in future. “Those who think I am a fraud or a fake are welcome to think so. I am not doing what I am to make a name for myself. I am doing what every Indian should be doing right now.”
