Sonu Sood pledges to feed migrant workers during Ramadan; says 'we're in this together'

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has brought the humans to their knees as nations have been locked down to try and curb the spread of the deadly virus. However, humanity has been winning as people have been selflessly providing basic essentials to those who have been deprived of them due to the pandemic. One shining example is Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who has pledged to feed the migrant workers stuck at Bhiwandi in Mumbai during the holy month of Ramadan.

"As the holy month of Ramadan starts, Shakti Annadanam moves one step closer to humanity, we pledge to feed more than 25000 migrants stuck in Bhiwandi so they can break their fast with a full plate and heart. It's time to come together and spread positivity via our deeds.", shared the 'Simmba' actor through the video.
