I am working for migrants purely out of love for them: Sonu Sood

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Catapulted to the national spotlight for his work in helping migrants reach their homes, actor Sonu Sood brushes off allegations that he is interested in politics and says he is doing what he is purely out of love .

The actor, viewed as a messiah of sorts for migrants and also the unlikely centre of debates over his motivations and possible political leanings, has been arranging for transport for thousands of migrants desperate to return to their home states.

I have nothing to do with politics. I am doing this purely out of my love for migrants. I want to help reunite them with their families,” Sood told. He estimates that he has helped 18,000-20,000 workers to go back to their homes in states such as Odisha, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand.
