Rajasthan: Actor Sonu Sood calls labour minister to thank him

JAIPUR: Actor Sonu Sood might have played many negative roles on screen, but he has proven to be a real life hero for many during the times of pandemic.
On Sunday, the actor made a video call to state labour minister Tika Ram Jully and expressed his gratitude towards the minister who arranged injections for a patient admitted at AIIMS, Bhopal. The minister also assured him of all possible help in future, be it in Rajasthan or any other place.
Jully got the call on Saturday when the actor requested if he can arrange some injections for a patient under treatment for black fungus in Bhopal. During the call, the actor also maintained that he knew Madhya Pradesh was not his territory, but still requested.
“Acting on his call I had called up a few doctors and my contacts in Bhopal and after some attempts we managed to arrange for the required injections for which Sonuji had requested. He has been doing phenomenal work and has proved that to help somebody you just need a will,” Jully told TOI on Sunday.
Sharing his interaction with the actor, the minister, said, “He expressed his gratitude to me. I also congratulated him for all the pain he is taking in helping others. Also, I assured him that I am always ready and open to help him out in case he finds any such requests in Rajasthan or elsewhere.”
It may be recalled that early this week the actor had sent 10 injections for a 62-year-old patient undergoing treatment for black fungus in Sriganganagar and had helped many other people in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Ajmer for their emergency needs of oxygen, Remdesivir and other items.
