In the times when coronavirus is spreading its wings in the country, various Bollywood celebrities are stepping forward to do their bit for migrants and daily wage workers who are facing problems in an unprecedented pan-India lockdown. Actor Sonu Sood is one amongst those who has been a saviour for many. 

Troubled by images of lakhs of migrant labourers making their way to their homes on foot with little or no food, Sonu Sood decided to help them reach home. He has sent over 12,000 migrants back to their homes in the past few days and is continuing to arrange more buses for them.

Sonu Sood facilitated several buses for hundreds of workers of UP and Bihar stranded in Mumbai so they could return to their homes. He has been on the field for more than 20 hours facilitating the GHAR BHEJO drive in association with Neeti Goel.

The 46-year-old 'real life actor' has also been helping those reaching out to him via social media. "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," said Sonu.

Sonu Sood has already given away his Mumbai hotel for the accommodation of the medical forces including doctors, nurses, and the paramedical staff, to stay. Not only this, but the actor has donated over 1,500 PPE kits to doctors across Punjab.
