Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has emerged as a messiah for the migrant workers, who were unable to go back to their hometown due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut criticized the ‘Dabangg’ actor and called him a ‘Mahatma’ in his Sunday column. Despite the controversy, Sonu came forward to help 180 migrant workers reach their home in Assam.
After airlifting 177 migrant workers stuck in Kerala and sending them to Orissa, Sonu has yet again arranged another flight to send over 180 Assamese migrants back home from Mumbai.
Talking about sending the migrant workers in a flight, Sonu Sood expressed his feelings and said he was emotional to see their smiling faces. ETimes quoted him saying, “We wanted to help these Assamese migrants reunite with their families and that’s when we decided to arrange a special flight for them. I was extremely emotional to see their smiling faces as they were excited to experience air travel and eventually meet their families and friends. I’m happy I could be there for them in these trying times when they needed help the most.”
