Sonu, a barber from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, found himself in a tough spot when his phone was stolen. In an effort to help, a generous customer initiated a fundraiser on Milaap to raise Rs 15,000 for a new phone. To encourage donations, the customer designed a T-shirt with a QR code linking directly to the donation page. He lauded Sonu for his respectful and kind nature, calling him a person with a heart of gold. The customer, who also enjoyed Sonu's playlist, promised to download every song he liked once Sonu got a new phone. In a heartwarming twist, the makers of the Nothing Phone heard about Sonu's story and decided to surprise him with a special gift.
The story began when an X user spotted Sonu's client in Connaught Place wearing a T-shirt with a QR code for the fundraiser. The tweet read, "Spotted this guy in CP today (the QR code opens a fundraiser for his barber)." According to the fundraiser page, the description says, "My barber's phone got stolen, and I want to help him get a new one. He's a kind soul who never talks to anyone rudely and listens to everyone's problems without judgment. I really want to make him smile again, so I'm raising this fund to gift him a new phone. From Kumar Sanu to Honey Singh, his playlist was pure gold, and I will download all his favorite songs to his new phone. PS - People also call him Ghaziabad ka Aalim Hakim."
