Twitterati picked Akshay Kumar and Sonu Sood for Bharat Ratna because of their contribution, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. While they noticed Sonu only after his efforts during the pandemic, the users remembered Akshay's donation since Pulwama attacks in 2019.

Here are the tweets demanding Bharat Ratna for Akshay Kumar and Sonu Sood:

Bharat Ratna trend started on Twitter after Suhel Seth demanded Bharat Ratna for ninth Prime Minister of India, P V Narasimha Rao. He tweeted, "It’s an absolute shame that to this day, P V Narasimha Rao, who changed the economic history of India has still not been awarded a posthumous Bharat Ratna. Only because he was independent and not a family serf. At least this Government needs to set things right!" Prior to him, KCR had also rooted for Bharat Ratna for P V Narasimha Rao back in 2014. The day marks P V Narasimha Rao's birth anniversary.

Apart from P V Narasimha Rao, Twitterati also suggested Field Marshal Sam Maneckshaw's name for Bharat Ratna. June 27, 2020, marked Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan Sam Maneckshaw's 12th death anniversary.
