In yet another act of benevolence, actor Sonu Sood had won the hearts of millions of people all over the country. We have been reading about him since March about how selflessly he organised buses, transport for people in the country and abroad to reach their homes who were stuck in the lockdown. Just not that, he also launched an app to offer support to workers in finding right job opportunities in various sectors across the country. He has come out with a free of cost online platform called Pravasi Rojgar, which will provide all the necessary information and right linkages to find jobs.
Now, a couple days back he saw a video of a Tomato farmer who used his teen daughters to plough the field in the place of oxen. He had no money to rent bulls. Sonu retweeted the video of the farmer in Madanapalle and promised to send a pair of oxen but later changed his mind for something even better. His Tweets read, “Terrible! Tomato farmer in Madanapalle, #Chittoor dt, forced to use his daughters for ploughing as he doesn’t have money to rent bulls. He suffered huge losses last time due to #coronavirus pandemic. With no cash in hand, he begins Kharif season on a sombre note. #AndhraPradesh,” read the caption on the video. Sharing it, Sonu had written, “Tomorrow morning he will have a pair of ox. Let the girls focus on their education. Starting tomorrow, two oxen will plough his fields. Farmers are the pride of this nation.. Protect them.” In the next Tweet, he said, “This family doesn’t deserve a pair of ox. They deserve a Tractor. So sending you one. By evening a tractor will be ploughing your fields Stay blessed,” he even used the hashtag of a tractor company in his tweet.
