Hyderabad,  Telangana's Industry and Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao, who is very active over Twitter in helping people in distress during the ongoing Covid pandemic, on Tuesday called actor Sonu Sood a "superhero".

When someone, who received the help from the Minister, thanked him and called him a real superhero, he replied saying he is just an elected representative.

"Am just an elected public representative doing my bit brother. You can call @SonuSood a super hero for sure. Also request you to kindly help others in distress," tweeted KTR, as the Minister is popularly known.

The state has developed so much under your leadership. I consider Telangana as my second Home as its my place of work & the people have shown me so much love over the years," wrote the actor, who has worked in many Telugu movies.

"Many thanks brother @SonuSood Ji for your kind words. Keep doing the great work that you have started. You are inspiring millions of people," KTR replied.
