Sonu Sood
Sonu Sood was taken aback by reports that a mutton shop in Karimnagar, Telangana is named after him  - the doing of an overzealous fan, who is keen to help him in his Covid-19 relief measures. Reacting to the news on Twitter with a humorous tone, the actor wrote: "I am a vegetarian..N mutton shop on my name? Can I help him open something vegetarian?" A section of netizens told him not to stress as it was the shop owner's way of "honouring" him.

Another one wrote, "Bhai, the vendor of the Shop is selling mutton at 650rs per kg where the price is around 700 per kg, and he has decided to transfer the 50rs per every kg to your foundation, to tell you that we are all with you and support you.. good decision kannaya #Telangana #Karimnagar"
The actor has been arranging oxygen concentrators and other necessary equipment for Covid patients as India battles the second wave of the pandemic. He also regularly communicates with netizens reaching out to him on Twitter and other platforms seeking oxygen and other necessities.
Sonu recently took to social media to announce that he would be setting up a couple of oxygen plants in Andhra Pradesh in June. "Very happy to announce that the first set of my oxygen plants will be set up at Kurnool Government Hospital and one at District Hospital, Atmakur, Nellore, AP in the month of June! This would be followed by setting more plants in the other needy states! Time to support rural India," he had recently tweeted.
