Sonu Sood to write a book on helping migrant workers

The Messiah of migrant workers Sonu Sood will be penning down a book, sharing his 'life-changing' experience of helping migrant workers amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown. The book will be published by Penguin Random House India.

Mumbai: Actor Sonu Sood is now all set to come up with a book recounting his experience of helping migrant workers reach their hometowns during the COVID-19 lockdown.

"The past three and half months have been a kind of a life-changing experience for me, living with the migrants for 16 to 18 hours a day and sharing their pain. When I go to see them off as they begin their journey back home, my heart is filled with joy and relief. Seeing the smiles on their faces, the tears of happiness in their eyes has been the most special experience of my life, and I pledged that I'll keep on working to send them back to their homes until the last migrant reaches his village, to his loved ones," Sonu declared.

"I believe I came to this city for this - it was my purpose. I want to thank god for making me a catalyst in helping the migrants. While my heart beats in Mumbai, after this movement I feel a part of me lives in the villages of UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Uttarakhand and various other states, where I have now found new friends and made deep connections. I have decided to put these experiences, stories that are embedded in my soul forever, in a book," he said, about the book that is to be published by Penguin Random House India.

The 46-year-old has been arranging transport for thousands of migrants desperate to return to their home states.

Last month, the actor arranged for chartered flights to help fly over 300 migrant workers.

Besides helping hundreds of migrants in different parts of India, Sonu Sood donated PPE kits and other essentials to doctors in Punjab.
