Locals in Telangana construct Temple in Sonu Sood’s honour

New Delhi, Dec 21: The locals of the Dubba Tanda village in Siddipet, Telangana have constructed a Temple to recognise the work done by actor Sonu Sood's philanthropic work.

A local said that he helped so many people during the pandemic. It is a great matter of delight for us that we have constructed his temple, the local said according to news agency ANI.

"This is an extremely overwhelming moment. But at the same time, I don't deserve this. I'm just a common man who helped his brothers and sisters," Sood said in a statement.

We started with organising food drives. And then I moved on to helping stranded migrant workers. It is just that the visuals of people walking a hundred miles to their hometowns kept haunting me for days and nights. I thought it was my duty to help them. In the process, I received immense love and respect from all quarters. They have honoured me with the title of a messiah, a superhero. A couple even named their newborn after me. I think I am really blessed," Sood had told The Indian Express.
