Sonu Sood to launch blood bank app

Actor Sonu Sood is going to launch what is expected to be India’s biggest blood bank, through an app named Sonu For You. The app aims at connecting donors to those in urgent need of blood.

As per the app, a donee can reach out to donors, and on receiving a request a donor can immediately reach the hospital and donate blood. Already being hailed as the country’s biggest blood bank, Sonu For You promises to help patients with rare blood groups.

Sonu tells IANS: “Sonu For You was conceived by me and my friend, Johnson. Every time someone needs blood on an urgent basis and we share the same on social media, we receive responses from many. So we thought, why not come with an app that serves the same purpose?”

He adds: “Going to a blood bank to search for a certain blood group can take a long time especially in cases of rare blood groups. Every year, 12000 patients in India die due to a lack of donated blood. With this app, we want to convey the message that our 20 minutes can save someone’s life.”

The actor has been expanding relief work in different sectors of society. It started with his work for migrants during the lockdown. He also started the distribution of e-rickshaws among the underprivileged. Sonu has started online classes, too, for children who cannot afford the technology.

Kangana: Javed chacha got warrant against me with Maharashtra govt help

Actress Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday took a jibe at lyricist Javed Akhtar for issuing a warrant against her. A Mumbai court had issued a bailable warrant against Kangana the day before when she failed to appear for the hearing of Akhtar’s defamation case against her.

“Another day another FIR, yesterday Javed chacha with help of Maharashtra government got a warrant issued for me and now another FIR for supporting farmer’s bill, meanwhile those who spread lies about this Bill and Farmer’s genocide also caused riots, face no consequences. Thanks,” Kangana tweeted.

In a second tweet in Hindi she took a jibe at the Maharashtra government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.

She wrote: “Kitne bhi zulm karlo, mera ghar tod do yah mujhe jail bhej do, yah jhooth failakar mujhe badnaam kar do, main nahi darne wali, mujhe sudharne ki koshish karne walon main tumhe sudharkar dam lungi, karlo jitni koshish karni hai mujhe abala bechari Banane ki, main baaghi paida hui thi, baaghi hi rahungi (No matter how much you oppress, break my house or send me to jail, or spread lies about me, I’m not scared. Those of you who are trying to correct me, I’ll relax only after correcting you. No matter how much you try to portray me as a helpless woman, I was born a rebel and will always be so).”

On Monday, Kangana visited her Bandra office for a meeting and later tweeted to express that visit left her heartbroken. The actress also shared pictures of the destroyed office.

In September 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had demolished parts of Kangana’s office in Bandra citing illegal construction. The demolition work was stopped midway after a stay order from Bombay High Court on September 9.
