Earlier, Governor of Maharashtra also hailed the actor for his work. The official Twitter account of Maharashtra governor hailed the actor for his good work and tweeted, "Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari called up actor, filmstar @SonuSood and complimented him for his dedicated work in facilitating the safe transportation of migrant people from various states to their home states." Reacting to the same, Sonu said, "Thank u so much sir. Your words inspire me to work harder. Will continue working for the migrant brothers and sisters till we unite them with their families Honoured."

Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Jayant Patil had also taken to Twitter earlier to laud the actor for his efforts and called him a real-life hero. Patil tweeted, "Sonu Sood is arranging buses for migrants who want to go back to their homes. He is trying to help as many migrants as he can. The on-screen villain is an inspiring hero in reality!

Speaking exclusively to India TV, Sonu Sood had said, "These workers have names, we keep calling them migrants...they made our homes, can't we send them back to their homes? Every step they take on the highway, wouldn't they be thinking that we did so much and built the country over so many years, and we have been forced to do this. It is very important I think everyone has to come forward. You are answerable as a human being, please come out and help all you can to ensure that every single of them reaches their home."
