● Sonu Sood appeals for support for Baby Inara, a young girl diagnosed with SMA on January 17, 2024, at PD Hinduja Hospital.
● Inara requires a life-saving injection costing INR 16 crore, of which INR 2 crore has already been raised.

● Sonu urges people not to believe or spread misinformation that could jeopardize Inara’s life.

Inara’s Parents, Naufil Kazi and Nikhat Khan said, “We are grateful to Sonu Sood sir for supporting Baby Inara’s fundraising campaign to raise funds for Spinal Muscular Atrophy while also countering baseless misconceptions at the same time. Verified hospital records unequivocally show that Inara was hospitalized at PD Hinduja Hospital between October 16th and 19th, 2024—coinciding with the court order on October 18th regarding this matter. The allegations in the FIR are not only false but also an outright abuse of judicial processes, designed to mislead and disrupt critical life-saving efforts for our child Inara.”
Piyush Jain, Co-Founder and CEO, Impact Guru added, “I sincerely thank Mr. Sonu Sood for his unwavering support for Baby Inara and her family during this critical time, as well as for his trust in Impact Guru’s mission to enable life-saving treatments for children like her suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy through her fundraising campaign. Recent allegations against Baby Inara’s fundraising campaign on Impact Guru have caused unnecessary confusion and distress and have seriously impacted her chances of survival. We have full faith in the process of law and that the investigation will bring forth the correct facts in this case. We urge the public at large to continue to help Inara gain access to the treatment she urgently needs.”
