New Delhi: Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who emerged as a messiah for the migrant workers during last year’s COVID-induced lockdown, will meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday (August 27). The ‘Dabangg’ actor will meet Kejriwal tomorrow amid rumours of his entry in politics, according to ANI. This comes soon after Maharashtra Congress charted out strategy where it recommended that the party should project actors Sonu Sood, Riteish Deshmukh or model Milind Soman as its mayoral candidate.
Before his reported meeting with Delhi CM, Sood had also met Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in April this year. Punjab government has even appointed the actor as the brand ambassador of the Covid-19 vaccination drive in the state.
