Punjab floods: Sonu Sood, Diljit Dosanjh, Sanjay Dutt lead relief efforts for victims

Punjab is facing one of the gravest flood disasters in recent memory, with vast stretches of farmland submerged, homes destroyed, and thousands of families displaced. Critical infrastructure has been severely damaged, and the state is struggling to protect both human lives and livestock. Amid this crisis, voices from the entertainment industry are stepping forward, extending not just financial aid but also emotional support to help Punjab rebuild.

On his birthday, popular Sufi singer Satinder Sartaaj dedicated the day to flood relief through his Sartaaj Foundation. Sharing heartfelt messages and visuals from Ajnala and Amritsar, he prayed that Waheguru accepts this humble service. His team has been active in Ferozpur and Fazilka, distributing essentials and urging people nationwide to contribute.

Singer Jasbir Jassi, best known for his evergreen hit Dil Le Gayi Kudi Gujarat Di, has been consistently appealing on social media for donations. In a recent interaction, he revealed that he personally reached out to Bollywood stars like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt for help. Responding to the call, Sanjay Dutt expressed deep sorrow over the devastation, calling it “truly heartbreaking,” and assured full support for Punjab’s recovery.

Global Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh is closely monitoring the situation in the Majha region. Sources reveal his team is working on a rehabilitation plan that goes beyond immediate relief, focusing on sustainable rebuilding efforts for families and communities.

Actor-singer Gippy Grewal has dispatched truckloads of silage to flood-affected districts, ensuring that farmers have enough fodder for their cattle—an often-overlooked aspect of disaster relief. Meanwhile, singer Karan Aujla contributed a motorboat to an NGO in Ludhiana for rescue operations, reminding fans that the real challenge begins once the waters recede.

Perhaps the most significant initiative has come from Sonu Sood, whose humanitarian work during the pandemic earned him immense respect. Through his Sood Charity Foundation, he has launched a dedicated helpline (+91 7888675107) for flood victims. In an emotional post, he promised to stand firmly with his home state, pledging assistance to every affected family.
