A source close to the singer says, "Sonu was really moved by the driver's courage and his presence of mind. He made sure that the driver was tracked down and ensured that the money reached him safely. It's an inspiring gesture by him, as he made sure that such unsung heroes are awarded."

Although his tire was flattened and encountered with raining bullets, he ducked and drove till he reached a safe place. The bus had 51 pilgrims, out of which seven were killed in the terror attack. However, he is not the only hero who saved the lives on the fateful night. Bus owner Harsh Desai also showed remarkable presence of mind, who had asked Saleem to duck and keep driving.

Sonu has been the goodwill ambassador for Fight Hunger Foundation, which works towards eliminating malnutrition in India. Supporting the cause, the singer came up with a single titled Hope In The Future, highlighting this issue. He also launched a transgender band called 6 Pack and lent his voice to a song with the group.

Honestly speaking if he would have done it without telling the media I would be more happy. This just seems like a publicity stunt!! What is up with his sudden political views and aspirations? Hope he isn't tying to get into politics! 😭

Honestly speaking he doesn't have to prove it. To me he has proved it many times. I'm shocked as to how people have reacted. The kind of bad words they are using is really shocking. They aren't even leaving his wife and kid.. 😲
