People are praising Sonu Sood for his heroic efforts to send stranded migrants to their home towns in the present pandemic. From sending migrants through train to organizing busses to even organizing flights for others – Sonu Sood has been actively stepping out to help the needy.
Amidst his good efforts, the actor took to Twitter today to warn his fans against fake help funds using his name. Falsifying a ‘majdoor help fund’ in his name asking for the donation, Sonu shared, “Kindly don’t fall in any trap. There are many fakes trying to take the advantage. So please report to the nearest police station.”

Sonu Sood and his friend Neeti Goel started the #GharBhejo initiative to help migrants reach home. Their efforts have been also appreciated by Governor of Maharashtra Bhagat Singh Koshyari and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
Speaking to Bombay Times, Sonu Sood had stated that the struggle of the migrants reminded him of his early days in the city. “I went all out to help these migrants because I was a migrant, too, who came to Mumbai with a lot of dreams. When I saw photographs of their sufferings and read heart-wrenching stories of how they are walking thousands of kilometers without food and water, it reminded me of my early days. I first came to Mumbai by train, without a reserved ticket. I stood by the door and slept in the space next to the washroom. I know what struggle is,” the actor said.
