The actor emphasized the importance of collective effort, urging more people to step forward to help rebuild Punjab. “This is not something one person or one group can achieve alone. We need many hands to come together if Punjab is to stand strong again,” he remarked.
Sood also mentioned that he will coordinate with local authorities to understand the specific needs of affected communities. He expressed his commitment to contribute towards rebuilding homes and supporting families whose lives have been upended. “I have no immediate plans to return. My priority is to reach the most impacted villages and stay involved in the recovery process,” he added.
The floods have left thousands displaced, damaged crops across large swathes of farmland, and created urgent needs for housing, food supplies, and medical assistance. Sood’s presence has brought a ray of hope to many villagers who see him not just as a celebrity, but as a helping hand in their time of crisis.
