Bollywood Actor Sonu Sood Denies Involvement in Fraud Case

Ludhiana : Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has distanced himself from allegations in an ongoing fraud case, stating in court that he has no connection with the accused company or its owner. The case, which has grabbed media attention, involves a financial scam where the company allegedly misled investors using Sonu Sood’s name and image.

During a recent hearing, Sood was asked whether he recognized the company owner, to which he categorically denied any association. His statement has sparked controversy, as the opposing lawyer argued that Sood was the official brand ambassador of the firm and had actively promoted its services. The prosecution alleges that his endorsement helped the company gain public trust, leading to financial losses for investors.

Sonu Sood’s legal team has defended him, stating that he was merely a professional actor engaged for promotional activities and had no knowledge of the company’s fraudulent practices. They argued that brand endorsements do not make celebrities responsible for a company’s internal dealings.

The fraud case emerged after multiple complaints were filed by investors who claimed they had been deceived by the company’s false promises. The complainants argue that they trusted the firm due to Sonu Sood’s association, believing it to be legitimate.

Meanwhile, legal experts suggest that Sood’s role in the case depends on the nature of his contract with the company. If he had a contractual obligation as a brand ambassador, it could raise questions about his responsibility in misleading promotions. However, if his involvement was limited to advertisements, the case against him may not hold strong.

Despite the legal turmoil, Sonu Sood remains a respected figure, especially for his humanitarian efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. His legal team maintains that he has been unfairly dragged into the controversy.

As the case unfolds, will the court hold celebrities accountable for brand endorsements, or will Sonu Sood emerge unscathed? The upcoming hearings will determine the course of this high-profile legal battle.
