Mumbai – Actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood celebrated his 52nd birthday on Wednesday by unveiling a heartfelt new initiative—a dedicated old age home for 500 senior citizens.
Known for his compassion and social work, Sood announced that the facility will offer a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for elderly individuals who have no one to care for them. Along with accommodation, residents will receive medical support, nutritious meals, and emotional care.
This initiative is another milestone in Sood’s ongoing humanitarian journey. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he made national headlines for helping stranded migrant workers reach home and has continued supporting underprivileged students and patients across the country.
The Dabangg and Ek Vivaah… Aisa Bhi actor has earned widespread admiration for his commitment to social causes.
On his birthday, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu extended warm wishes and commended Sood’s philanthropic work. Taking to his official X handle, he wrote:
“Happy Birthday to the ever-inspiring Sonu Sood! Your selfless philanthropy and support for those in need have touched countless lives across the nation. May your year ahead be filled with happiness, health, and continued strength to keep making a difference. @SonuSood.”
Sood marked the occasion with his fans and media outside his residence. In a video circulating on social media, he is seen wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans, smiling warmly as he cuts his birthday cake. The moment was made even more special when fans showered him with flower petals—a gesture that visibly moved the actor.
