SONU SOOD

WHEN PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY… MY WORK FOR THE MIGRANTS IS FOR SOME POLITICAL REASON, I TOTALLY IGNORE THEM.

In an honest heart-to-heart chat with Sumita Chakraborty, Sonu Sood, who is being hailed as the ‘messiah of migrants’, reveals why he went out of the way for the migrants, the inspiration behind his social endeavours, films and more.

I’ve known Sonu Sood for long and all these years, I’ve seen him doing numerous humanitarian work – whether it was generating awareness for acid victims or helping the truly needy. He has always been humble, understated and a little shy of talking about his numerous social endeavours. But today, thanks to “corona” and the ongoing migrant problems… the spotlight has finally shown his “real” side. Sonu at the risk of his own life, was the only Bollywood hero who jumped into the fray to help the migrants reach home safe and sound. He dipped into his own pockets to sponsor their travel across India to their homes through road, rail or air. Not a single tweet from the migrants went unanswered by him. In fact, he even acted as an arbiter in a migrant’s troubled marriage or wiped the tears of a distraught soul. No wonder today, Sonu Sood is being called the “real hero” of Bollywood. In a candid conversation, Sonu reveals his innermost turmoil’s, thoughts and more. Read on…

Sonu, we’ve seen you do such wonderful work by helping the migrants go home. You’ve worked tirelessly for them earning accolades from people like Barkha Dutt and the entire nation. While people are running scared, what made you decide to do this without fearing for your life?
