Sonu Sood has been relentlessly helping out people for over a year now. He started out last year when he helped migrant workers get back home during the lockdown. In the second wave, Sonu has been taking SOS calls and procuring medical supplies for those affected by the virus. He has also been actively talking about ways the government can reach out to the survivors and provide them with help in the future as well as now. 
But all this good work has a downside as some people choose to believe that the actor is only doing it to make a name for himself and has a hidden motive to the help he is providing. He has been called fake and a fraud quite a few times by people on the internet but has successfully ignored the negativity and stayed true to the case.
In a recent interaction online, the District Magistrate of Ganjam district in Odisha called him out and said that they had not received any communication regarding any bed requirement from him. He tweeted, “We didn't receive any communication from @SoodFoundation or @SonuSood . Requested patient is in Home isolation and stable. No bed issues @BrahmapurCorp is monitoring it. @CMO_Odish.”
To this, Sonu felt he had to respond and said, “Sir, we never claimed that we approached you, it's the needy who approached us and we arranged the bed for him, attached are the chats for your reference. Ur office is doing a great job & u can double check that we had helped him too. Have DM you his contact details. Jai hind.”
Explaining why he reacted to the earlier tweet, Sonu said, “The denial (of the effort made to get a hospital bed for the Ganjam citizen) came from a responsible government officer. It was therefore something I had to take seriously. I did not want any miscommunication or any misunderstanding with the administration. I am sure they are doing their utmost to help the people of their district. However, this person did approach us with an SOS for a hospital bed. And we did arrange it, but not to be one-up on the administration.”
He further spoke of how it is unnecessary to play the one-up game in this situation and helping someone should be the only cause on your mind at this point, “Those who think I am a fraud or a fake are welcome to think so. I am not doing what I am to make a name for myself. I am doing what every Indian should be doing right now.”
