He towers above everyone else as all eyes turn to him the moment he enters the big hall full of women. Women of substance at the members-only event hosted by Ficci Flo Bangalore greeted the charming actor, producer, philanthropist and humanitarian Sonu Sood with a lot of enthusiasm and gusto.
The current Chairperson Nupur Handa welcomed the handsome actor who was in Bangalore to lend his support to the Ficci Flo's Social Initiatives empowering women in Karnataka at the grassroots level through skilling, health education (SHE), partnering with VIDYA Skilling 300 women in digital literacy and mehendi art over the next two months.

Rajkumar, Happy New Year, Simmba, Kurukshetra and Dabbang among others. He will soon be soon in his latest action flick Fateh in which he plays the lead role.
His charity during the pandemic was applauded in large numbers, and he was hailed as a real-life hero in India. Some even called him the Son of India. This boy from a small town of Moga, Punjab who has been making international headlines for all his humanitarian work, opened his heart out to us in this freewheeling interview, as he shared his meaningful journey over the years acting, producing and serving the nation.
What are the projects you're working on currently?
In the movie world, Fateh is here. I'm writing, producing, directing and acting in the film, so it's going to be a very special one. It's going to set the standards very high in the industry. I'm really looking forward to it.
