Mumbai: On Thursday, a heartrending story of a man in Himachal Pradesh who sold his cow, the only source of income of his family, to buy a smartphone for his children’s education, went viral. Moved by his sacrifice, help poured in from different quarters, as people came forward to provide monthly assistance to the family for education of their children.One of them was film star Sonu Sood, who in recent months has emerged as the saviour of the poor and suffering and selflessly helped thousands of migrant workers and students reach their homes.
After reading about the plight of the man in a news article, Sonu offered to help get the cows back and asked for the man’s contact details on Twitter.”Let’s get this guy’s cows back. Can someone send his details please,” he wrote on Twitter.After reading about the plight of the man in a news article, Sonu offered to help get the cows back and asked for the man’s contact details on Twitter.”Let’s get this guy’s cows back.

With no means of getting a smartphone with our meagre means, we finally decided to sell a cow,” he said.Selling the cow was the last resort for him as he had knocked on banks and private lenders to get a loan to buy a smartphone but in vain.Now, with all the help pouring in, hope he gets his cows back!Let’s get this guy’s cows back. Can someone send his details please. https://t.co/zv0Mj8DCh9
