Actor Priyanka Chopra has once again listed all the things that inspired her this week. Among them was actor Sonu Sood’s recent act of kindness when he sent a farmer and his family a brand new tractor.
Taking to her social media pages, Priyanka wrote, “After helping so many people affected by the COVID-19 lockdown in India, actor @SonuSood recently sent a tractor to a farmer in Andhra Pradesh who didn’t have money to rent an ox to plough his field. Proud of all the amazing work you’re doing Sonu.” She also attached a picture of the farmer, his wife and daughters posing with their new tractor.
Reacting to her post, Sonu wrote, “Thank you so much Priyanka for all the encouraging words. Means a lot @priyankachopra”
Earlier this week, Sonu came across a clip on Twitter wherein a tomato farmer in Madanapalle in Chittoor district was seen ploughing the land with his two daughters carrying the yoke on their shoulders. In his instant reaction, Sood promised a pair of ox to the farmer, but later said the family deserved a tractor. “So sending you one. By evening a tractor will be ploughing your fields. Stay blessed,” Sood, who acted as a villain in numerous Telugu films, said in a tweet.
Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, who belongs to Chittoor district, hailed the actor’s gesture. “Moved by the plight of the family, I have decided to take care of the education of the two daughters and help them pursue their dreams,” Naidu said in a tweet. The farmer used to run a tea stall in Madanapalle before coronavirus left him out of business. He returned to his native Mahalrajupalle village to take up agriculture once again.
