BOLLYWOOD actor Sonu Sood is being hailed as Messiah throughout the country. The cinestar, who has studied in Nagpur in his college days, has helped scores of poor and needy people travel back home during last year’s nation-wide lockdown which was forced due to COVID-19.
The good Samaritan Sonu, who himself is COVID-19 positive and is home quarantined at his Mumbai home, this time came forward to save the life of a 26-year-old Nagpur girl Bharti Kispotta.
On Sunday afternoon, Sonu’s twitter blinked with a message seeking help. Hudson Misal a Nagpurian who works with an airline company, posted a request on twitter seeking help to save her colleague from getting ventilator bed for a COVID patient.
“Need to save one life in Nagpur. Urgently need one ventilator bed. Name of Patient – Bharti Kispotta. CT score-14/25. Oxygen – 56. Age 26. Pls help @sonusood sir. This is very serious,” read the tweet from Misal and tagged Sonu Sood.
Within one hour he got a reply from Sood’s handle in Hindi: ‘Agle 30 minton me ICU bed aur ambulance mil jayegi. Tayyari kijiye. (In next 30 minutes you will get ICU bed and Ambulance. Start preparing).
Though they had to face difficulties in arranging an O2 Ambulance, the patient got a ventilator bed in Wochardt hospital.
Not only arranging the bed for Bharti, actor Sood is in touch with doctors at the hospital.
“Don’t worry, I am in touch with the doctors. she will be given best care,” Sood’s another tweet read.
Misal, thanked Sood for his timely help.
“Thank you @SonuSood for the quick and timely help even when you yourself are down with #Covid. Wishing you a speedy recovery,” thanked Misal through his tweet.
Bharti is said to be stable at the hospital.
