Sonu Sood turned out to be the good Samaritan and a responsible citizen amid the coronavirus crisis. For many days now, the actor has been organizing buses to transport stranded migrant laborers to their hometowns, after obtaining permission from the various state governments. He has even been spotted at the bus terminus to oversee their journey.
About his work amid the coronavirus crisis, Sonu told IANS, “I feel it is my duty to help the migrants, the heartbeats of our country. We have seen migrants walking on the highways with their families and kids. We just can’t sit in the AC and tweet and show our concern till we don’t go on the roads, till we don’t become one of them. Otherwise, they will not have the trust that there is someone standing there for them. So I have been coordinating for their travels, for permissions from different states.”
The actor has also been praised by a sand artist named Ashok Kumar, the latter created a sand sculpture of Sonu Sood and tweeted the picture of the sculpture.
