Sonu Sood: I didn’t even have money to make a train reservation

The ones who have endured during the darkest phases of struggle, have something in common. When they ride high on self-made success, they have a sense of fulfilness. A sense that reminds them, nothing comes easy.

And when you talk to Sonu Sood, you know this man has had his share of hardships. That’s what makes him grounded, and that’s what keeps him going. His international release ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ has once more proven, hard work can fetch you what you deserve.

While talking to a leading daily, Sood recalled his early days. (Also Read: ‘Hindi-Chini bhai bhai’: Salman Khan, Jackie Chan and Sonu Sood mouth the famous saying)

“Many years ago, I boarded an express train to Mumbai on a chaalu ticket. I didn’t even have money to make a reservation. But today, I can afford to send a private jet to fetch Jackie, one of the world’s greatest stars, to India. I single-handedly managed his stay and a lavish event to celebrate the film and him. Life has come a long way. I wish that my parents were around to see this,” he says.

The actor’s father passed away a few months back. Otherwise known as a person who keeps his issues to himself, we saw him almost broken during that period.

Nevertheless, life rewards the one who deserves it.
