New Delhi: Bollywood actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood has arrived in Nepal with relief for victims of the devastating floods, visiting some of the worst-hit areas along the Trishuli river.
“Standing here today at the Trishuli River, where the floods have left behind unimaginable loss… broken homes, broken families, and lives changed forever. Nepal is not alone. I stand with its people, and I will do everything I can to bring hope, rebuild homes, and help families begin again,” he posted on Wednesday. He also shared photographs from the visit in which he wore a T-shirt bearing the name of the Sood Charity Foundation.
Known for films such as Dabangg and Jodhaa Akbar, Sood has also been active in humanitarian work since the Covid-19 pandemic. Through the Sood Charity Foundation, he has taken part in relief efforts after floods in states such as Punjab and Assam.
In another post, Sood shared photographs of himself with children affected by the 26 August disaster, which killed more than 1,000 people in Nepal and destroyed entire villages along the Trishuli river corridor.
“They lost their homes, their families, their childhood… but together, we will help them find a new beginning. Nepal, you are not alone,” he wrote on X.

‘Do CSR activities here’
At a media interaction from one of the affected sites in Nuwakot, Sood pointed to a lone house standing in a flattened expanse.
“The kind of destruction is in front of your eyes… it’s immense. You can see that green house, the miracle house, which survived during these floods. But the whole other side of the village has already been wiped out, and there is no access to that area,” he said. “It takes almost nine hours for us to reach there if we want to. I feel really heartbroken when I think about these families who are stuck here, whose houses are gone, whose families are gone.”
He added that some people could still be trapped under the debris and that his team would try to reach the hardest-hit areas.
“We are just trying to do our bit, and we will make sure that we reach the most difficult spots and provide whatever help we can,” he said.
Sood also praised the Indian government’s response under PM Modi.
“I think the Indian government has done phenomenally well. All thanks to our PM Narendra Modi. The kind of help that has been provided to Nepal is commendable, and I think we should keep on continuing to send this aid because they need it,” he said, adding that relief would have to continue for months, not weeks.
The actor urged corporations to step in and help flood victims as well.
“All the big corporations should come out with their CSR activities here. Do something good. Whatever help you need from us, me, or the Sood Charity Foundation, we are always there for you, just a phone call away,” he said.
