The actor, who made headlines for his humanitarian work during the lockdown last year that helped saved several lives, urged people to come forward and help the needy.
Taking to Twitter, Sonu tweeted, "Since morning I haven't kept my phone down, thousands of calls from all over India for HOSPITAL BEDS, MEDICINES, INJECTIONS and still not able to provide to many of them, I feel so helpless. The situation is scary, pls stay at home, wear mask and prevent yourself from infection."
Minutes later, in another tweet he wrote, "All said and done, I am still on it, I am sure together we can save many more lives. It's time not to blame anyone but to come forward for a needy who needs your help. Try to provide medical needs to the ones who don't have an access. LETS SAVE LIVES TOGETHER. Always there for u."

A huge amount of responsibility is on my shoulders that I have to spread the message across to everyone. People have to get vaccinated and we make sure that every family gets its share of vaccination. We should be an example for everyone that how fast people get vaccinated in Punjab. I am on it and we will make sure that the message reaches out to everyone and reaches fast. I always feel that when something like this happens, it has to start from Punjab."
