London: Indian actor Sonu Sood has been numero uno in top of the list of South Asian celebrities for helping helpless people during the coronavirus epidemic. The first of its kind and a unique ranking in this regard was released.
The 47-year-old Bollywood actor faced stiff competition to top the list of '50 Asian celebrities in the world' published by Britain's weekly newspaper Eastern Eye. Through this list, those artists who have made a positive impression in society and inspire people through their work have been honored.
Expressing gratitude for the honor, Sood said, "During the pandemic, I realized that it is my duty to help the people of my country." At the time of the Covid-19 lockdown, Sood assisted in sending Indian migrant laborers to their homes, for which he was given this honor.
Eastern Eye editor Asjad Nazir prepared the list. He said that Sood deserves this honor because no other person has done so much to help others during the lockdown.
