Sonu Sood spoke about his upbringing in Punjab, where the values of community service and unity were deeply rooted. In a recent interview with Moneycontrol, “The teachings that we learnt from Guru Nanak were all about seva, selfless service, and empathy. Guru Nanak said, Ek Onkar, that God is one, which resonates deeply with me. These teachings stayed with us from our childhood. Our parents, our teachers, everyone reminded us of them, and we as kids were expected to follow the Guru’s word. That was the norm in Punjab’s villages and towns back in the day. And these teachings still guide my life.”

He fondly recalled the rich traditions of the festival of Gurpurab, “I remember the langars, those were the best experiences. We used to go to the gurdwara, listen to the kirtans, and help serve food. Even the markets would be bustling with people distributing or partaking langars. It was beautiful to see people coming together, giving and sharing without expecting anything in return.”
Adding to the personal connection, Sood mentioned his family’s active participation in these traditions. “There used to be a langar right in front of my shop in Moga, Punjab. My father would organise it, and passersby would stop to eat. Seeing the happiness on their faces was the yardstick which proved that we did good.”
For him, the significance of the day goes beyond traditional observance. “Amid the busyness of our lives, sacred days like today nudge us to pause and give back. I feel we have a lot to learn and teach our kids from teachings of our gurus. After all, they are most needed in modern times of chaos,” he said.
On the work front, Sood also revealed that he has been writing his next film project. He shared, “I’ve been writing my next film for the past seven or eight months. It’s an action film that we’ll start shooting in June.” He added, “I’ve done many roles now, and I’m a bit choosy about what I should take up. It has to be something that gives me a kick as an actor, something new. And since I’m writing and directing too, it’s been a very exciting phase for me after Fateh.”
