Sabyasachi Mishra Named Outlook’s Person of the Year

Bhubaneswar (Reporters Today Bureau): Odia actor Sabyasachi Mishra, who is looked upon as a living God for his philanthropic activities during COVID-19 lockdowns and shutdowns, has been named as English magazine Outlook’s Person of the Year 2020 for his relief work for students and migrants during the epidemic.

Heaping praises on the actor, Outlook said, “an SOS from a group of Odia students dramatically changed Sabyasachi Mishra’s journey. The Odia film star was at the fountainhead of some much-needed relief work that common people, especially migrant workers, needed in the wake of the COVID pandemic.

“Sabyasachi had one goal — to put a smile in the face of the sufferer. And he was successful with a group of friends who helped him fund his project. With no aspiration to ride his popularity into politics, Mishra has showed honesty and a golden heart. For being a wonderful soul, Sabyasachi Mishra is Outlook’s Person of the Year, 2020,” the magazine said in its citation.
