He accepts that the virus did affect him physically and he had some weakness during the recovery period. “It broke me physically, but could never break my spirit. I got up, took necessary precautions and continued my work towards helping India recover from Covid.” When asked about helping people and the biggest roadblocks faced in doing so, Sonu stated that getting permissions is difficult at times from the relevant authorities but it’s understandable as everyone is overworked in challenging times like these. “Even they are trying to help us out and making sure that things are smooth.”
The actor urges the citizen to wear their mask and follow the guidelines for the sake of doctors who have working day and night at hospitals. “I am not sure if everyone is even taking a shower after reaching home from work. These little things if followed will help us fight the virus,” he revealed adding further that he and his team are spreading awareness among the masses to get vaccinated. “Vaccine is for their own protection and thus they should get it at the earliest. Hang on. There are better days coming ahead. We are all in this together. We will fight this and win. Stay strong, and keep fighting. And anyone needs any help in any manner, I am just a message away,” he concludes.
