Sonu Sood has just been appointed the State Icon of Punjab by the Election Commission, and he just can’t stop feeling the absence of his parents. “Now I miss my Mom and dad more than ever. I always told them I will make them proud and I had promised them that I’ll be known all across our native town Moga,” says Sonu emotionally.
