Following
the
example
laid
by
actor
Sonu
Sood,
Swara
Bhasker
has
decided
to
help
out
migrant
workers
looking
for
ways
to
get
home
amidst
the
lockdown.
Swara
said
that
she
felt
ashamed
sitting
at
home,
not
doing
anything,
looking
at
the
magnitude
of
the
crisis.
Speaking
to
Times
Now
in
an
interview,
Swara
said,
"At
a
time
when
lakhs
of
people
are
out
on
the
streets,
facing
extreme
hardship,
I
feel
ashamed
sitting
at
home.
This
crisis
has
exposed
the
defects
in
our
system."
Swara
coordinated
with
the
Delhi
government
to
help
migrants
get
train
tickets,
to
reach
their
homes
in
Uttar
Pradesh
and
Bihar.
She
and
her
team
did
this
by
collecting
the
names
of
people
wanting
to
go
back.
According
to
reports,
Swara
has
been
able
to
help
1,350
workers
safely
reach
their
homes.
She
thanked
AAP
MLA
Dilip
Pandey
for
assisting
in
this
effort.
Earlier,
Swara
had
collaborated
with
a
footwear
brand
to
arrange
shoes
for
migrant
workers.
Sharing
about
the
initiative,
she
had
written
on
Twitter,
'I'm
very
grateful
to
@ActionShoes
&
#AthleoShoes
who've
kindly
contributed
500
pairs
of
shoes
toward
migrant
relief
efforts.
These
were
distributed
by
on-ground
@karwanemohabbat
volunteers.
Deep
gratitude
again
to
Vishesh
Agarwal,
SK
Sharma
&
Shaival
Sahay

Like
Swara,
Sonu
Sood
has
been
going
all
out
to
help
out
those
in
distress
during
the
lcokdown.
From
arranging
transport
for
migrant
workers
in
Maharashtra,
to
offering
his
Mumbai
hotel
to
accommodate
doctors
and
healthcare
workers
treating
COVID-19
patients,
he
has
been
doing
it
all.
Recently,
Sonu
helped
airlift
177
girls
from
Kerala,
who
were
looking
to
reach
their
homes
in
Odisha.
