The "Dabangg" actor has helped several migrants and other people amid the coronavirus lockdown by arranging foods and shelters for the people. He also helped people stranded abroad by bringing them home from different parts of the world.

Earlier, Penguin Random House India had announced that Sonu Sood will be penning an autobiography that will be based on his experiences of helping people during the pandemic. The book will be co-written by Meena Iyer. The book, titled as "I Am No Messiah", will reveal the emotional and often challenging journeys he undertook along with the people he rescued.

"People have been very kind and have lovingly named me Messiah. But I really do believe that I am no Messiah. I simply do what my heart tells me to. It is our responsibility as human beings to be compassionate and help each other", the actor said.
