Sonu Sood, emerges face of south-based hospital chain,
Hospital chain brings actor-filmmaker Sonu Sood on
board to endorse its flagship branch in a south Indian city.
Notedly, there are myriad ways to do one’s bit towards a society and actor Sonu Sood will vouch for that.
Needless to stress that Sonu has constantly headlined for social work for various causes from helping migrant workers reach home amidst the pandemic, to providing medical aid to those affected at the time of Cyclone Michaung last year.
What comes as a big surprise is that Sonu has waived off his endorsement fees in exchange for 50 liver and kidney transplant surgeries of underprivileged patients.
A source reveals that in the midst of one of his trips to Dubai, Sood met one of the hospital chain’s directors.
The director reminded Sonu that in the past, he had sponsored a liver transplant surgery in Kerala and a bone marrow transplant in Bengaluru.
Source also reveals that when Sonu asked to be the ambassador for his hospitals, the actor told them that he would come on board if the hospital pledged to conduct 50 surgeries in lieu of his fees.
The hospital’s readiness to the arrangement made Sood realise that almost everyone wants to do their share of good.
The actor elaborates, that everyone wants to do good, but there needs to be a proper channel to streamline such efforts.
When he suggested this initiative to the hospital], they said, ‘Let’s do something that can save lives of the needy, who cannot afford those surgeries.’ Those 50 surgeries are worth crores of rupees, but it will get transformed into a mission that will save lives.” In 2022, he had collaborated with another hospital to sponsor 50 liver transplants.
