Sood has been helping people in need ever since the Covid pandemic broke last year. His efforts were seen for first time last year when he arranged transportation for thousands of migrants stuck in various parts of the country due to imposition of lockdown. Since then, his foundation has been helping people seeking his assistance.
In the second wave of Covid, Sood helped people with medical oxygen, ambulances and other life-saving medicines.
In his latest tweet posted on Saturday, Sood said: “When life blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.”
