This is something really close to my heart and I will give it my all,” Sood, 46, said in a statement. As per arrangements, multiple buses left from Wadala and various parts of UP, including Lucknow, Hardoi, Pratapgarh and Siddharthnagar, as well as to states like Jharkhand and Bihar. The Happy New Year actor was present to bid goodbye to the stranded workers who were stranded in the city since the lockdown began on 25 March. Previously, the actor also donated over 1,500 PPE kits to doctors across Punjab and provided his Mumbai hotel for the accommodation of the healthcare workers.
