Sonu Sood offers to help Rajpal Yadav
After Rajpal’s emotional appeal, actor, Sonu Sood stepped I to support Rajpal Yadav. Sonu, who is known for his charitable work, clearly stated that his move was not charitable but rather an emotional support for one of his own. Taking to X, Sonu penned a note and shared his support for Rajpal as he wrote:
“Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us..producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity. When one of our own is going through a tough phase, the industry must remind him he’s not alone. This is how we show we are more than just an industry.”
