A source said that someone came to know about Sonu Sood’s Ghar Bhejo Initiative and contacted him. Since it was difficult to send these girls home via road, Sonu Sood and his team decided to airlift them from the Cochin airport. Both airports Cochin airport and Bhubaneshwar airport operated for a few hours. A special aircraft has been arranged from Bengaluru to airlift the girls. The flight also transported ten migrant laborers working in the plywood factory. Sonu Sood sponsored the tickets. The aircraft departed from Cochin airport at 8 AM and reached Bhubaneshwar at 10:30 AM. The buses were also arranged for the girls from Bhubaneshwar to their hometown Kendrapara.

According to sources, since Sonu Sood launched the helpline number, he and his team are getting around 50 to 60 thousand calls from across the country. Sonu Sood and his team are spending sleepless nights and helping more migrants to reach back to their homes. He said he would continue sending migrants home until the last one reunites with his family.


Not only this, but he has also provided meals to thousands of underprivileged people, and his Mumbai hotel for the accommodation of the healthcare workers. Previously, he has donated over 1500 PPE kits doctors across Punjab.

Sonu Sood, the words are less to express gratitude for you. The entire nation is appreciating your work for humanity. Man, what a gentleman he is. We have massive respect for you brother Sonu Sood.
