Sonu Sood has earned the title of ‘messiah’ for the help he provided to migrants during the COVID-19 lockdown. The actor hasn't restricted himself to just helping the migrants. Sonu has taken up the responsibility to make sure every needy receives assistance from him and his team. Now, according to reports, Sonu has mortgaged eight of his Juhu properties to raise a loan of Rs 10 crore for those in need.
Reportedly, the actor has mortgaged his two shops located on the ground floor and six flats in the Shiv Sagar CGHS. The building is near Iskcon Temple in Mumbai. According to reports, the properties are jointly owned by Sonu and his wife Sonali. They have now been mortgaged in favour of Standard Chartered Bank. Sonu is yet to talk about this.
In the past, Sonu has helped people with surgeries, admissions and education. Sonu even launched a toll-free helpline to address the concerns of the migrants and provide them solutions. He has been using his social media to reach out to people in need. A few months ago, he airlifted 177 women from Kerala to Odisha who was stranded in the state with no money. Apart from this, the large-hearted star helped a circus troupe stranded in Mumbai with essential supplies, sponsored the education of IAS aspirants under a scholarship programme and financially helped underprivileged patients who were supposed to undergo critical medical surgeries.
