and

getting
positive
responses.
According
to
IANS,
Soundarya
said,
"These
are
challenging
times
for
everyone,
but
my
heart
goes
to
hundreds
of
students
including
other
fellow
Indians
who
are
stuck
here,
without
proper
accommodation
and
resources."
"I
have
been
writing
to
the
Indian
Embassy
and
the
Ministry
of
External
Affairs
for
evacuation
assistance
however
there
has
been
no
positive
response
nor
any
assistance
to
Indians
who
have
been
unable
to
meet
their
ends
here," she
added.
Soundarya
was
visiting
the
United
States
to
attend
an
acting
course
at
the
Lee
Strasberg
Theatre
and
Film
Institute

Angeles.
"I
would
humbly
request
the
Indian
embassy
and
the
MEA
for
a
stimulus
package
for
all
those
students
and
fellow
Indians
who
are
stuck
here
to
help
overcome
this
situation
and
hopefully
arrange
an
evacuation
flight
back
to
India," said
Soundarya.
