It may not be realised by many but our past plays an important role in the kind of person we are today. Experiences shape personalities and same is the case with actor and philanthropist, Sonu Sood. Sonu turned out to be the messiah for migrant workers during the intial phase of Covid-19 outbreak last year. He went out of his way to help people reach their destinations. These kind actions by Sonu have a connection with his past which he recently revealed.

He said, "When I came to Mumbai, I came on a train and had no reservation. When I was doing my engineering in Nagpur, I used to travel in buses and trains without reservation. When I saw those migrants walking on roads, with their kids, elders, those were the most disturbing visuals of my life. I decided I am not going to sit at home and crib about it."

His mother's teachings also had a deep impact on Sonu's psyche and acted as a factor which prompted him to aid the helpless. Sonu said, "My mother used to says that ‘if you can’t help anyone then don’t consider yourself successful’. My background, the values my parents imbibed in me are the reason I am doing this."
