Sonu Sood Comes up With Another Surprise, Offers Scholarship to Underprivileged

“While some did not have phones to attend online classes, others did not have money to pay the fees. So, I have tied up with universities across the country to offer scholarships under the name of my mother, Professor Saroj Sood. She used to teach in Moga (Punjab), free of cost. She had told me to take her work ahead, and I feel that this is the right time,” he said.

Students from families that have an annual income lower than two lakhs can apply for the scholarship. However, he says there is condition – they must be serious about their studies with a good academic record. He can be reached on Twitter or a direct mail can be sent to scholarships@sonusood.me for any further inquiries.

The actor became a real-life hero during the early stages of lockdown when he took the responsibility of sending every stranded migrant back to their home. All that was required was a tweet and he himself would come to help, organise buses and transport routes.
