Actress
Soundarya
Sharma
is
currently
stranded
in
the
USA
amid
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
She
was
in
Los
Angeles
to
attend
an
acting
course
at
Lee
Strasberg
Theatre
and
Film
Institute.
Soundarya
had
approached
the
Indian
embassy
and
Ministry
of
External
Affairs
for
assistance
to
return
back
to
India.
However,
according
to
the
latest
reports,
the
actress
has
opted
out
of
travelling
by
the
repatriation
flight
phase
one,
so
that
people
who
are
in
distress
can
travel
back
home
first.
An
IANS
report
quoted
Soundarya
as
saying,
"I
am
certainly
missing
my
folks
back
home
but
the
priority
is
not
me.
It's
for
those
who
are
in
a
difficult
situation
here
and
have
to
get
back.
As
it's
a
must
have
for
them
and
I
always
have
felt
my
happiness
should
not
be
at
anyone's
cost.
My
appeal
was
for
the
people
and
I
am
so
thankful
to
everyone
for
mission
VANDE
BHARAT."
Soundarya,
along
with
more
than
400
Indians
including
students,
is
stuck
in
the
US
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
The
actress
had
earlier
said,
"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."
Talking
about
her
films,
Soundarya
Sharma
played
the
lead
role
in
the
film
Ranchi
Diaries.
The
film
was
produced
by
Anupam
Kher.
