Sonu Sood praises India's help

Sonu also praised India's assistance, saying, "I hope that we are all able to bring some aid for the people of Nepal so that Nepal can again stand back on their feet. I also think Indian government has done phenomenally...also thanks to our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi... the kind of help that has been provided to Nepal it's commendable and I think we should keep on continuing sending this aid because they need it and on the ground when I come when I meet those families I know that it's not going to get resolved in couple of weeks or months it's something that we have to keep on sending, continuing our support and I think that's the only way we can get them back to their normal lives," as quoted by ANI.
