Thanks to Sonu, Shanta or ‘Warrior Aaji’ is now a martial arts and self-defence trainer for children. The reel-life villain has turned a real-life hero during the lockdown, when he started many initiatives for migrant labourers who were suffering the most, especially in helping them reach their hometown.

“The existing premises of Savali Foundation is for recreational and development activities for women, such as karate, yoga, teaching, beauty parlour training, and computer classes. I proposed that I will give the open space to her for free, and the help from Sonu Sood goes directly to Aaji,” said by Sonu Sood.

 As of now, classes will be held three times a week with a batch of 30 students for a session of one hour. In fact, Shanta was offered to teach on some days at a nearby school.

People are lauding Sonu Sood for having a heart of gold and his kind gesture: 

 

Sonu Sood's act of kindness during this epidemic is very heart touching and heroic. His vision and dedication to make this world a better place should be an inspiration to us all.
