Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has once again come to the rescue of the needy after he promised to help a farmer from a village of Maharashtra, who manually ploughed his field as he did not have money to buy bullocks. A video of the farmer from Hadolti village in the Latur district has been doing the rounds on the internet.
Sonu came across the video on social media, and sharing it on his X handle, he wrote, "Aap number bhejiye, hum bail bhejte hai (sic)."
Not just that, but when another X user asked the actor to send the farmer a tractor instead, the actor replied, "Hamare iss kisan bhai ko tractor chalana nahi aata, isiliye bail he badhiya hai dost (The farmer does not know how to drive a tractor, hence bullocks will be better for him).
The actor also confirmed the same to Free Press Journal.
Maharashtra farmer's heartbreaking video
In the video, the 76-year-old farmer, named Ambadas Pawar, can be seen tying a plough to himself and ploughing the field with the help of his wife, as the elderly couple could not afford bullocks or a tractor. Pawar revealed that he has been ploughing his field manually for the past 10 years, after he was forced to sell his oxen due to not being able to afford the animal's maintenance.
"No one has interfered for the last 10 years, but someone saw me ploughing the field and made a video and made it viral. After the video went viral, today the Latur district officer and the state minister contacted me," the farmer told ANI.
