“For The First Time You’ll See So Many Moist Eyes,”…Sonu Sood On Shooting With Kapil Sharma

Sonu Sood would be  the  first guest  on  Kapil Sharma’s show which makes a tentative comeback without a live studio audience.

Sonu Sood who has been on the show a number of times felt  completely at home shooting with  Kapil.  Except that this time   it was  adifferent. As Sonu spoke about his recent experiences of getting  migrants to their homes, everyone  got emotional.

“The  shooting was different.It  is  different from  what we usually see  on Kapil’s show. For  the first time there were tears in people’s eyes,”  says Sonu who has just managed  to  get back  hundreds of stranded Indian students from  Kyrgyzstan.

“That  was very  difficult,”  confesses Sonu,  “There were  almost 4,000 medical students struck there. Lots of bureaucratic challenges in getting the  necessary permissions. The students were in  a really bad shape. Many of them were inconsolable. They wanted  to come back home somehow. One  of them even  died.”

Sonu hints at  the  shabby treatment meted  out to  the Indian students  waiting to  get home  from  Kyrgyzstan. “They were not  given much facilties. They were desperate when  they contacted me. I  constructed the whole map for their journey back in four to  five days.And now they are coming back in batches.The students  belonging to  Vizag  came back first.Then  they  returned to Varanasi, Delhi,  Gaya….It  was  a challenge . But at the end  of it, our boys reached home. And that’s all that matters.”
