The philanthropic work done by actor Sonu Sood is no secret and the impact it had on the lives of countless people suffering during coronavirus lockdown was appreciated by all.

Taking it a step further, private airline Spicejet paid their tributes to the actor by dedicating a flight with a picture and the slogan, "A salute to the star."

Reacting to the gesture, the actor wrote, "Remember coming from Moga to Mumbai on an unreserved ticket.  Thank you everyone for all the love. Miss my parents more."

The gesture by the airlines also won the appreciation of celebrities and fans alike.  

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 honour for his service, wrote about his experiences in his memoir 'I Am No Messiah'.
