Actor Sonu Sood visited the Varahi Gaushala in Gujarat, a shelter housing nearly 7,000 cows. He donated Rs 11 lakh (as reported by two sources) or Rs 22 lakh (as reported by one source) to support the shelter's animal welfare efforts, including veterinary care and infrastructure. Sood expressed pride in the shelter's growth from a few cows to thousands and praised the dedication of the villagers and trustees, suggesting their model of cow protection could be emulated nationwide.
