Jalandhar, 01.10.25-; Renowned Bollywood actor, philanthropist, and social reformer Sonu Sood visited Lovely Professional University (LPU) for an engaging and heartfelt interaction with students, leaving the campus energized with his words of inspiration, humility, and purpose.

Upon his arrival, the university leadership accorded him a warm and distinguished welcome. Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, Col. Dr. Rashmi Mittal, Pro-Chancellor of LPU, and Dr. Jaspal Singh Sandhu, Vice-Chancellor of LPU, felicitated him in recognition of his impactful humanitarian work and enduring commitment to public service.

Sonu Sood shared that the moment he stepped onto the campus, it reminded him of his own college days as an electronics-engineering student. In a light-hearted exchange, he remarked, “Chancellor Sir should have built the university earlier, as I would have loved the opportunity to study in such an excellent environment.”

He then spoke about the philosophy behind his widely admired humanitarian work. "You can reach the peak of your career and gather great wealth, but the fulfillment that comes from giving someone hope is a unique emotion," he reflected. "That sense of purpose is something no material success can ever replace."

Addressing questions about his political plans, Mr. Sood shared, “There is no fixed time. Whenever it happens, it will happen with a bang. Right now, I don’t want my attention divided. If someone in need is calling me, I can’t be sitting in front of the camera. When I enter politics, it will be wholeheartedly, following the legacy of good leaders like Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal.”
