The actor, who extended his helping hand to countless people during the COVID-19 pandemic, Friday praised the AAP government for its work in the national capital.
"The work that has been done by the Delhi government can only be experienced. The whole country needs such work," said Sood, who was accompanied by Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and AAP leader Raghav Chadha in the press conference.
Sood's meeting with Kejriwal gained significance also because the actor's homestate Punjab, where the AAP is one of the political players, will go to polls in early 2022.
