Sonu Sood wrote dialogues for Dabngg

The actor when asked on the show, if he wrote the dialogue ‘Hum Tum Mein Itne Ched Karenge…’ in the movie Dabngg, shared, “Yes, it’s true. I remember we were shooting in Filmalaya and it was our first day, after the song Munni Badnam. I have an interest towards writing dialogues and the directors who I’ve worked with know my penchant for writing. Abhinav is a good friend and we keep exploring a lot in writing. During this, the idea for this dialogue came about and Abhinav and I moulded it together and that’s how ‘Hum Tum Mein Itne Ched Karenge, came about. And when Salman Bhai heard it, he said to Abhinav that “Yeh Dialogue Badaa Kamaal Hai. But, Bhulnaa Mat Kisney Likhaa Hai”.  And Further added, "I also remember, we were shooting in Wai, and Salman Bhai and I were travelling together in a car. Salman Bhai casually asked me, 'Sonu, Tu Lambaa Badaa Hai, Tu Comfortable Hai Naa' to which I said, “Kanoon Key Haat Aur Sonu Sood Ki Laat, Dono Bahot Lambhi Hai Bhaiyaa'. Salman Khan was so impressed with the dialogue that we shot for it the very next day and he incorporated that in the film as Chedi Singh’s dialogue – ‘Kanoon Key Haat Aur Chedi Singh Ki Laat, Dono Bahot Lambhi Hai Bhaiyaa'.”

The ‘Messiah’ reveals the reason behind launching an app – Pravasi Rojgar

Sonu Sood shared, “While arranging for the travel of migrant workers, I used to enquire about when they will come back and whether or not they will come back at all. To which I used to get a standard response saying if they get a job they will come, else they will try and figure something in their own hometown. This got me thinking. Being from the engineering background myself, I started work on a platform along with my team, to figure a way in which these people could get a job through an app. It took us 2-3 months to build this and through this app, any one, from any state, can upskill themselves, or even find a suitable job in another state. By the time this episode goes on air, around 1 – 1.5 lakh people would have found themselves a job.”

Sonu Sood revealed how challenging it was for him while he was helping others

On the show, Kapil Sharma enquired about the unusual and funny requests Sonu Sood has received from fans. Someone had tweeted Sonu to help him meet his girlfriend to which Kapil quipped that Sonu hasn’t met his own wife in these three months.  Sonu revealed the challenges that he faced “I have another flat in the same building that I stay in, and I used to sleep there. Given the uncertainty of the environment and the time that I spent outside, I used to feel scared going home, because my kids are there and you feel like hugging and spending time with them. It was a helpless situation because you don’t want them to catch an infection. Kapil replied in pride and said,  “Paajji, now you don’t belong to your own family, you belong to millions of families and have received millions of blessings from the mothers around the nation.”
