Actor Sonu Sood has come a long way from being the quintessential 'middle class boy' to becoming Bollywoodâs villain, to a real life âsuperheroâ. Within a short span of time, the actor has captured a place in everyoneâs heart across the country because of his unflinching support to the migrant workers, who are worst affected by the nationwide coronavirus lockdown.

From arranging buses to airlifting people through chartered flights to launching a toll free number, Sood  has ensured to leave no stone unturned in sending stranded migrant workers to their home states. His generous efforts have now transformed him into a national hero. 

Recently, the 46-year-old actor took to his Twitter account to share an emotional post for his late parents. He shared the post with the caption that read., âThey both will be smiling somewhere from heavens. Miss u both maa n dad.â

Coming from a humble background himself, he clearly understands what it takes to be generous and compassionate in todayâs circumstances. We desperately need more people like Sonu Sood in this country. 

The actor has set up a toll free number to reach out to the maximum number of distressed people. Here is that number - 18001213711. This number connects to a call centre set up by him for those who seek help. He truly is a messiah for all those who are in dire need of help at this difficult time. Kudos to you, Sonu!
