the actor Sonu Sood He became a real-life hero after helping people across the country with transportation and food during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world came to a standstill due to the lockdown. It all started with the actor arranging two buses, but the actor went on to arrange flights and other means of transport to help people. Sonu’s humanitarian work brought him offers from many political parties.

Sonu Sood said, ‘I was also offered the post of Chief Minister. After I refused, they said, ‘Why not the Deputy Chief Minister?’ Some influential people in the country were behind these proposals, including Rajya Sabha seats. They said, ‘Join us, no need to contest elections, stay with us.’
Sharing the reason for turning down these offers, the actor said, “Politics, for many, is about getting wealth or power. None of these interests me. I am already helping people in my own way without answering to anyone. If I am in politics If I were, I would be accountable to someone, and that scares me. I love my freedom to help others with no strings attached.
