Sonu put rest to the rumours that he’d been barred from seeing the migrants off. In his tweet, he wrote, "Just to set the record straight - I was not stopped from entering the station. I absolutely respect the protocols and have duly followed it. I had requested the state government for the train so that I could send the migrants back home to reunite them with their families."

He further continued, "As there were almost two thousand people. I am extremely thankful to the state govt, Hon. CM Uddhav Thackeray ji @CMOMaharashtra @AUThackeray @AslamShaikh_MLA for helping me bring a smile on the faces of all migrants! Jai Hind."

For the uninformed, Nirmal Nagar police station’s senior inspector Shashikant Bhandare told PTI, "The actor was stopped by the RPF, not by us. He wanted to meet labourers who were going to their native place. We have not received any complaint regarding this till now."

Recently, Sonu had also met with Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray at his residence. "This evening @SonuSood met up with @CMOMaharashtra Uddhav Thackeray ji along with Minister @AslamShaikh_MLA ji and me. Better Together, Stronger Together to assist as many people through as many people. Good to have met a good soul to work for the people together," Aaditya Thackeray had said, in a tweet. To his tweet, Sonu had replied, "Was a pleasure. Thank you for all the support offered to help my migrant brothers reunite with their families."
