The one name everyone expected on Padma Awards list and which wasn’t there is actor Sonu Sood. The man’s incredible work with migrants and his continuing support to the distressed, is worthy of every award and recognition on this earth.
To see his name missing in the Padma list has not gone too well with Twitteratis. This seriously undermines the importance of the Padma awards.
Rightly Sonu’s admirers who had been championing his cause for months are extremely incensed at the snub to Sonu’s phenomenal philanthropy. Is this glaring omission from the awards list a reminder of just how easy it is to sideline a true achiever when he is not a political ally?

Rejecting Sonu Sood & promoting Kangna POKkar is a clear indication of where government is heading…
My India you are tilted at 56°, get ready for upside down asana!!!😡

When reached out to Sonu, he laughed and said, “It is award enough for me to have people believe in my work.”
