Behind Sonu Sood's Act Of Helping Migrants Is A Desire To Make His Parents Proud

Have you ever wondered why it was only actor Sonu Sood who came forward and made the migrants pain his own?

Maybe he is the only actor with a conscience or empathy but Sood had a stronger motive to send migrants back home, get them reunited with their families, and not even charge a single penny for his hard-work. That is a constant desire to make his parents proud.

Speaking to The Indian Express, the actor said that when he saw visuals of migrants walking back home, being a Punjabi, and how his parents had raised him, he wasn't going to sit at home and do nothing about it.

"I can relate to them (migrants). When I came to Mumbai, I came on a train and had no reservation. When I was doing my engineering in Nagpur, I used to travel on buses and trains without reservation. When I saw those migrants walking on the roads, with their kids, elders, those were the most disturbing visuals of my life," shared Sonu.

"I decided I am not going to sit at home and crib about it. My mom used to teach kids free of cost, my dad used to organize langars outside his shop. I was raised with those values in Punjab. My mother used to says that ¡®if you can¡¯t help anyone then don¡¯t consider yourself successful¡¯. My background, the values my parents imbibed in me are the reason I am doing this,¡± said Sonu Sood.

Isn't it amazing what Sonu Sood has done? Beginning with sending back 350 migrants home, now he has sent 18,000. A feat, not even our government could pull off!

Thank you for you Sonu Sood!
