Sonu Sood has turned out to be the real-life hero for the migrant workers.
Sonu Sood, who has been on a mission to send migrants across the country back to their homes amid coronavirus crisis, bid adieu to 2000 people at Borivali station, Mumbai. The actor came to see off the migrants and also distributed essentials to them before they headed to Uttar Pradesh. The actor has so far arranged buses and flights for the migrant labourers. Sonu turned out to be the real-life hero for the migrant workers. His fan base is expanding day by day and people are in complete awe of the work he has been doing. However, despite his selfless service, he became a political target when Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut questioned his intentions. As per a PTI report, Sonu estimates that he has helped 18,000-20,000 workers to go back to their homes, which includes flights for the migrants of Assam, Odisha and Uttarakhand.
