Bollywood star and humanitarian Sonu Sood, who recently recovered from the novel coronavirus, on Saturday gave his fans a glimmer of hope in their fight against COVID and urged people to stand in unity with each other.

The 47-year-old actor took to his Twitter handle and tweeted, “Can`t sleep.. In the middle of night when my phone rings, all I can hear is a desperate voice pleading to save his/her loved ones. We are living in tough times but tomorrow is going to be better, just hold your reigns tight. Together we will win. Just we need some more hands.”

Sonu, who has been in the limelight because of his philanthropic work, on April 17 was added to the list of Bollywood celebrities to be diagnosed with COVID-19 after Manish Malhotra, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar, Vicky Kaushal, Govinda, Bhumi Pednekar, Aamir Khan, among others.

He finally recovered from the deadly virus on April 23.

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora, and some others were also infected with the virus.

On a related note, the `Dabangg` actor took his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at Apollo Hospital, in Punjab on April 7. The actor took to his social media accounts to share a picture from the hospital. Along with getting vaccinated against the deadly infection, the actor had also launched `Sanjeevani – A Shot of Life`, an initiative to encourage people to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus and raising awareness about the inoculation drive in the country.

He recently also got a critically ill COVID-19 patient airlifted in an air ambulance from Nagpur to Hyderabad, to get a special treatment done.
