Sonu Sood's Mumbai local train pass of Rs 420 from 1997 surfaces, actor reacts
Sonu Sood's railway pass of Rs 420 from 1997 surfaced amid the help he was providing to people. As a netizen shared it, he reacted that life is a full circle.
The 'nepotism vs outsider’ debate is often a talking point in the film industry. The star kids are often at the receiving end of trolling for getting an easy venture into the industry, while many from outside the industry have struggled their way up to success. The success after the struggle of one such actor, who has been making headlines all around, recently surfaced via a throwback picture.
Sonu Sood is earning praises from the citizens of the country for arranging the travel back home of the migrant workers and others stuck in Mumbai to other cities. However, there was a time when the actor used to be like the people he is helping at the moment. The Dabangg actor used to travel in the local trains of Mumbai 22 years ago.
A netizen recently shared a photo of his monthly railway pass costing Rs 420, covering the entire city, from Borivali to Churchgate, from 1997. The netizen marvelled at spotting the pass of the then 24-year-old and wrote, “Only those who have struggled in life can understand the pain of others.’
जिसने सच में संघर्ष किया हो उसे दूसरे लोगों की पीड़ा समझ में आती है
