The world is seeing the good side of people amidst the current Coronavirus pandemic and Bollywood celebrities are the torchbearers for such initiatives. 

From Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan to Shah Rukh Khan, most celebrities are doing their bit by making donations or providing aid to the needy in these tough times.  

Joining the list is actor Sonu Sood, who recently opened the doors of his Mumbai Hotel to the medical staff selflessly fighting the pandemic. 

Talking to TOI, Sonu said, âItâs my honour to be able to do my bit for the doctors, nurses and para-medical staff of our country, who have been working day and night to save peopleâs lives. They hail from different parts of Mumbai and need a place to rest. We have already approached municipal and private hospitals and informed them about the facility.â

Last year, the same hotel had landed Sonu in a lot of trouble, when the BMC found out that he was running a residential hotel despite not having clearances from the civic body. A BMC official said, âWe have still not received an amended proposal for the property following our remarks on the initial proposal.â

Earlier, SRK also offered his four-storey office space in Mumbai to the BMC as a quarantine facility. Not only this, actor Salman Khan also joined the bandwagon by pledging to financially support 25,000 daily wage workers who have been hit by the 21-day lockdown.

According to reports, he has already begun the process of transferring money into the bank accounts of daily wage workers from the film fraternity.
