Bollywood
actor
Sonu
Sood
is
winning
hearts
for
his
work
in
helping
migrants
reach
their
homes
during
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
The
actor
has
been
actively
replying
to
the
people
who
reach
out
to
him
for
help
on
social
media.
Recently,
the
Simmba
actor
offered
help
to
a
man,
who
wanted
to
reach
his
hometown
Varanasi,
to
perform
the
last
rites
of
his
wife.
"Dear
Sir
@SonuSood
@shubhamVawasthi
My
Neighbour
Mr
Sitaram
Lost
his
wife
at
Native
place
Varanasi
Trying
to

member
please

@SonuSood
sir
we
don't
have
any
other
option
then

netizen
wrote
to
Sonu
on
Twitter.
The
actor
quickly
responded
with
a
tweet,
"I
am
sorry
for
the
loss.
will
send
him
tomorrow.
He
will
reach
his
home
soon.
God
bless."
Recently,
in
an
exclusive
interview
with
Filmibeat,
Sonu
opened
up
about
what
triggered
him
to
take
up
the
initiative
of
helping
the
migrants
in
Maharashtra.
Sonu
told
Filmibeat,
"What
drove
me
to
help
these
migrants
to
return
was
those
visuals
of
people
walking
with
their
kids,
with
their
elders
and
those
unending
journeys.
Imagine
a
father
telling
their
kids,
Bihar
Zaldi
Aa
Jayega,
UP
Zaldi
Aa
Jayega
and
they
have
to
walk
thousands
of
kilometres
with
their
little
kids.
And
when
these
kids
will
grow
what
kind
of
memory
they
will
have
in
their
minds;
that
they
saw
their
parents
walking
miles
struggling
to
go
back
to
their
homes.
I
never
wanted
those
kids
to
grow
with
those
memories.
So,
I
thought
I
will
have
to
come
forward
and
help
these
people."
Sonu
also
told
Filmibeat
that
he
is
overwhelmed
with
the
love
and
blessings
of
the
people.
He
said,
"The
best
thing
I
have
heard
from
the
migrants
so
far
is,
they
called
me
and
they
said
that
they
named
their
kid
as
Sonu
Sood
Srivastava,
and
I
asked
them
that
how
it
can
be
Sonu
Sood
Srivastava,
it
must
be
Sonu
Srivastava.
But
they
said,
no
sir,
not
in
my
family
but
in
many
families
you
will
have
Sonu
Soods'.
So,
I
think
that
was
very
special.
And
that
will
stay
with
me
forever.
I
just
wish
that
I
could
reach
to
more
and
more
people
and
make
them
reach
their
home.
The
journey
is
on
and
I
will
leave
no
stone
unturned
to
make
my
parents
proud
who
are
sitting
in
heaven,
and
guiding
me."
