Just
like
the
whole
nation,
actor
Suniel
Shetty
is
also
all
praise
for
actor
Sonu
Sood,
who
helped
thousands
of
migrant
workers
by
sending
them
home
amid
the
nationwide
lockdown,
in
the
light
of
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Shetty
said,
"Sonu
has
put
Hindi
film
heroes
on
a
different
pedestal.
People
know
that
the
film
industry
has
good-hearted
people.
He
is
stepping
out
every
day,
risking
his
and
his
family's
health
to
help
others."
When
the
Internet
was
flooded
with
appreciation
posts
for
Sonu
Sood,
filmmaker
Sanjay
Gupta
had
also
shared
on
social
media
that
how
back
in
1994,
Suniel
Shetty
had
rescued
128
Nepali
women
from
sex
trafficking.
The
filmmaker
had
also
added
that
Suniel's
brave
act
wasn't
known
to
many
till
one
of
the
rescued
women
spoke
about
it.
Suniel
had
not
only
rescued
these
women,
but
also
helped
them
in
becoming
self-sufficient.
The
Border
actor
said,
"I've
celebrated
many
Christmases
with
sex
workers
and
their
children
at
Kamathipura
(Mumbai's
red
light
area).
Their
love
and
blessing
fills
my
heart.
I
know
many
of
them
are
forced
into
this
profession.
It
was
a
collective
effort
to
send
these
women
home
to
Nepal.
There
were
honest
cops,
my
mother-in-law,
politicians,
even
the
airlines
that
flew
them
home,
among
others,
who
helped.
Naam
sirf
actor
ka
nahi
hona
chahiye,
yeh
sab
bhi
the.
(Only
actor's
shouldn't
be
praised,
they
all
were
there.)"
The
film
industry
is
indeed
lucky
to
have
such
heroes.
Be
it
Sonu
Sood
or
Suniel
Shetty,
the
duo
has
proved
that
a
real
hero
isn't
someone,
who
fights
hundreds
of
villains
on
the
silver
screen,
but
someone
who
acts
like
a
hero
off-screen
too!
