As the messiah of the migrants\u00a0Sonu\u00a0Sood turned a year older on July 30, hundreds of those whom he had helped reached home reached out to him in a surge of goodwill. Says Sonu, \u201cThis birthday was special. Never have I been so warmly and extensively greeted from all over the country. It seemed the whole country was celebrating. People whom I was fortunate enough to help reach their homes kept calling the whole day from different states.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sonu\u00a0had never imagined he would get so much attention. \u201cThere were people video-conferencing, wanting to reach out to me, to just wish me well. It was overwhelming. I tried speaking to people from each state for 15-20 minutes\u201d<\/p>\n
How did this kind of attention make\u00a0Sonu\u00a0feel? \u201cI feel embarrassed to get so much attention at the same time I feel humbled and grateful. Who gets so much love from so many? Only the most blessed do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sonu missed his parents on this special day. \u201cI wish my mom and dad were here to see the love that I got on this special day. They would have been proud of me. They would have hugged me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sonu\u00a0had a birthday wish. \u201cI wish this Corona thing would end. And I want people to come out with a stronger mind set after this crisis. I wish for a stronger India after this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
