Rawat spoke to Sood on phone to express his gratitude. "Talked to film actor Sonu Sood today on phone to thank him for his humanitarian gesture. He and all religious and social organisations that helped migrants return to their home states have done a commendable job," Rawat



said in a Facebook post.
