On July 30, 2025, Sonu Sood celebrated his 52nd birthday not with a lavish party, but with a profound act of kindness, exemplifying his commitment to humanitarian work. The actor and philanthropist marked the occasion by announcing the establishment of an old-age home, a sanctuary set to provide shelter and comprehensive care for 500 senior citizens.
This initiative aims to create a secure, dignified, and loving environment for elderly individuals who lack family support. Beyond mere accommodation, the old-age home will offer a range of essential services, including medical care, nutritious meals, and emotional support, ensuring the well-being of its residents. Sood's vision is to ensure these elders feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for.
Sood, reflecting on his birthday and the outpouring of affection he receives, shared that the love and blessings from people are the greatest gifts he could ask for, serving as a constant source of motivation. His commitment to giving back to society has earned him widespread admiration.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu lauded Sood's dedication to philanthropy, extending birthday wishes and acknowledging the positive impact he has had on countless lives. In a message posted on X, Naidu commended Sood's selfless support for those in need and wished him continued strength to make a difference.
Videos circulating on social media captured Sood's birthday celebration, showing him cutting a cake surrounded by fans and paparazzi. Dressed casually in a black shirt and jeans, he appeared visibly touched as he was showered with flower petals.
Sonu Sood's humanitarian efforts gained national prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when he assisted thousands of migrant workers in returning to their homes. He has also been actively involved in supporting underprivileged students and patients. The establishment of the old-age home further solidifies his legacy as a real-life hero, dedicated to making a positive impact on society.
