SpiceJet honours Bollywood star Sonu Sood for helping migrants during lockdown

March 21: Good works done never goes in vain. Bollywood actor Sonu Sood hit the headlines in 2020 for his philanthropy when he helped migrants working in big cities get home to their villages and towns after the government ordered a nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Spicejet and Sonu Sood collaborated and worked closely with each other to help thousands of migrant labourers. For his humanitarian efforts during the coronavirus crisis, Sonu Sood has been honoured by private airline SpiceJet by dedicating an aircraft livery for a Boeing 737. He is the first Indian actor to make it to the livery of a domestic airline.

The livery includes a picture of Sood with the text “A salute to the saviour Sonu Sood.” Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet said, “We are extremely proud of our association with Sonu Sood and the work that we have done together during this pandemic. This special livery is a tribute from SpiceJet for Sonu’s selfless efforts and to thank him for the outstanding and exemplary work that he has done to help millions during this pandemic.”
