"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." ~ Sonu Sood
Sonu Sood's debut book, as-of-yet untitled, will reveal the emotional and often challenging journeys the actor undertook along with the people he helped. Social worker - Sonu Sood, who catapulted to the national spotlight for his work in helping migrants reach their homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic, will pen a book about his experience.
"I have decided to put these experiences, stories that are embedded in my soul forever in a book ... I'm excited, nervous and overwhelmed, and I can't wait to connect with you through my book. I look forward to your support and love you all." ~ Sonu Sood
The 46-year-old actor launched an initiative to help reunite migrant workers who were stranded in Mumbai with their families in distant corners of the country.
"The past three-and-half months have been a kind of a life-changing experience for me, living with the migrants for sixteen to eighteen hours a day and sharing the 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 Sood
