Bollywood actor Sonu Sood who rose as a messiah for the scores of displaced migrant workers in India, continues to receive requests daily and his work for the aam janta moves on. In a recent tweet, the actor apologised to people whose messages he may have missed and the sheer number of requests he receives on an average during a day boggles our minds.
Sood tweeted, “1137. mails 19000. fb messages 4812. Insta messages, 6741. twitter messages, Today's HELP messages. On an average these are the number of requests I get for HELP. It is humanly impossible to reach out to everyone. I still try my best. Apologies if I missed your message.”
The actor had recently said in an interview that he is no hero. “I don't think I am a national hero. It started very simply with me being worried about the plight of all the migrants, who were unable to reach their homes. I get almost 100 emails every single day of people asking for help and thousands of messages, but I also know that I can't help all of them. I try to solve at least 30 to 40 problems every day, may be more.”
Sonu recently extended support to a tribal girl in Chhatisgarh, who had lost her house and books to incessant rains. Acknowledging the video, he tweeted, “Ansu poch le bahan, kitaben bhi nai hongi ghar bhi naya hoga (wide off tears sister, books as well as the house will be new)”.
