Sonu Sood visits flood-affected Punjab villages, assures treatment for little boy with kidney disease

Actor Sonu Sood once again stepped into the role of a real-life hero as he visited flood-hit areas in Punjab and promised support to a young boy battling a kidney disease. The actor, who has become a familiar face in relief work over the years, met the child named Avijot and assured his family that his treatment would continue uninterrupted despite the ongoing crisis.

With Punjab, Forever.
We were on the ground. We saw the loss, the heartbreak — and the strength that refused to fade. Villages under water, lives uprooted, but hope still standing.
Whatever Punjab needs, we are here.

On Sunday, Sood travelled to Punjab, where heavy floods have wreaked havoc across several districts. According to state officials, nearly 2,000 villages have been impacted, with more than four lakh people affected and 46 lives lost.

Rescue and relief operations are being carried out by the National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, and volunteers on the ground.

Alongside his commitment to the child, Sood highlighted the larger tragedy facing Punjab.

Sood has urged others to join in relief efforts, stating that those who lost their homes must be supported in rebuilding.
