Bollywood actor Sonu Sood paid a visit to the Varahi Gaushala in the Santalpur Tehsil of Patan, Gujarat.

Respect for Sonu Sood ji. He walks the talk. While 11 lakhs is a significant amount, the real story is the villagers' dedication that grew the gaushala from a few cows to thousands. That's true seva.

Great work, but I hope the donation is used transparently for the animals' feed and medical care. Sometimes these large gaushalas struggle with funds despite donations. Accountability is key.

Visiting, donating, and even offering to have a meal at a villager's home—that shows genuine humility. It's not just a photo op for him. His foundation does incredible work across so many areas.

As a Gujarati, I'm proud to see our state's gaushalas getting this recognition. The model in Santalpur should indeed be replicated. Gau seva is an integral part of our culture and needs sustained support.

Between filming 'Fateh' and his charity work, his energy is inspiring. But let's not forget the local trustees and villagers who do the day-to-day heavy lifting. They are the real heroes here.
