At a time when the entire country is struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, Sonu Sood has emerged as the unlikely hero for thousands of migrant workers wanting to reach home. He has become so successful that people have started naming their shops, businesses, even their children after him. In the midst of doom, he’s become a beacon of hope for the downtrodden. We all were moved by the disturbing images of the migrants walking miles under the hot sun, but it was Sonu who decided to act on the impulse and reached out. He started interacting with them and soon organised transport for 350 migrants from Mumbai to Karnataka. That kind of opened the floodgates and people started reaching out to him for help. He has been busy ever since trying to sort out their problems. It wouldn’t have been easy for Sonu to cut through the red tape and get the required permissions for inter-state travel for so many people but the golden-hearted actor says the problems sorted themselves out. Says he, “I felt the power of the prayers of all the migrants’ families praying for their sons or husbands to come back. I think their prayers did the trick. And watching the smiles on those faces and tears in their eyes made me believe that I was doing something right.”
