Sonu Sood Reaches Flood-Hit Nepal

Taking to social media, Sonu Sood shared pictures offering a glimpse into his efforts to support people affected by the tragedy. In the caption, he wrote, “They lost their homes, their families, their childhood...but together, we will help them find a new beginning.”

“Nepal, you’re not alone,” he added.

On Wednesday, he reached Trishuli Bazar, which is said to be one of the most affected towns due to the flash floods. 

Speaking to ANI, Sood said that he and his team are on the ground to help affected people get their lives back on track. He added that relief supplies will not be limited to this month and that his team plans to continue sending essential items over the coming months.

“We are here to meet the victims of the flood. We got lots of stuff from India. We just want to be with the people who are in need and will try to bring their lives back (on track). I think it’s everyone’s duty to do their part. We have a lot of blankets and food materials. We are still asking them what they need; we try to send it from India. Sending from India to Nepal is always a little challenge because we need a lot of people. But we will make sure that not only this month but also in the coming months, the relief keeps coming,” he said.

Sood, in an interview with NDTV, described witnessing the devastation firsthand as overwhelming and spoke about the children he encountered at relief camps.

“Being here, seeing the devastation up close, has been overwhelming. But what has stayed with me the most is seeing children at the relief camps - despite everything they have been through, they are standing alongside us, helping with relief distribution and doing whatever they can to support others,” he said.

Sood also urged people around the world to come forward and support those affected by the disaster.

“I think when you look at the entire situation, you can understand the scale of the impact. When people have lost their homes, you can imagine what they must be going through. Everyone should come forward. People from across the world, wherever they are, should step up and please help. It is very important to stand by these people so that we can help Nepal get back on its feet,” he told India Today.
