Coronavirus outbreak has turned out to be a difficult time not only for those fighting it at the frontlines but particularly migrant workers who were left stranded away from their hometowns amid the lockdown situation with little to zero resources at their expense. While we saw heartbreaking stories of migrant workers walking on foot for thousands of kilometres to head home, a few people stepped up to take the responsibility of helping them reach home in the safest manner and one celebrity who has been in the news for the same has been Sonu Sod. Although, not many know that there's anther megastar who came to the rescue of migrant workers and it is none other than Amitabh Bachchan. Sonu Sood: I Am Working For Migrants Purely Out of Love For Them and Have Nothing to Do With Politics.
