Reportedly, According to sources, “Actor Sonu Sood’s premises in Mumbai and a company in Lucknow linked to him were raided by the Income Tax department today”. “A recent deal between Sonu Sood’s company and a Lucknow-based real estate firm is under the scanner. The survey operation has been initiated on allegations of tax evasion on this deal,” sources in the Income Tax department said.

The tax raids come days after the actor’s high-profile meeting with Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who declared him the brand ambassador for his government’s mentorship programme for school students in the capital. After the meeting, Sonu Sood had denied any plans for a political debut with Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party. After today’s incident, multiple personalities showed their support for him.

AAP leader Raghav Chaddha said: “An IT raid on a man as upright as Sonu Sood, somebody who has been called a messiah by lakhs of people, somebody who helped the downtrodden. If a man like him can be politically targeted in a well thought out witch-hunt shows that the current regime is insensitive and politically insecure.”

“I am shocked. The way Sonu Sood has helped lakhs of people, for tax people to search his properties… I don’t think he can do anything illegal,” said Anand Dubey, Shiv Sena leader.

Actor Sonu Sood and filmmaker Farah Khan decided to collaborate to recreate the 90s classic ” Tum toh Thehre Pardesi”.

Sonu Sood is known as a saviour by many because of his efforts to help the people in need during the pandemic. Because of his kind deeds, he has become one of the most loved superstars. Sood will soon be seen in the music video recreating the classic song “Tum toh Thehre Pardesi”. He will be working with the director Farah Khan and the singer Tony Kakar for a reprised version of the song.

The shooting for the music video has already started in Chandigarh. Sonu Sood will be seen in the character of farmer-turned-cop. The music video is expected to be released on the actor’s birthday which is on July 30.

According to the reports, when Sonu approached for the song, he immediately asked Farah to collaborate on this project. Sonu and Farah have been great friends since the time they worked together for the film Happy New Year in 2014.

Earlier in an interview, Sonu said, ” This song will be something very different from anything that I’ve ever shot before. It’s always wonderful to work with Farah”.

Sonu’s fans are liking this heart-touching post and are advising him not to be sad in the comments.

He has become one of the most beloved actors from the film industry especially during the lockdown when he helped myriad migrant labourers from Maharashtra to reach their  hometown.

Sonu recently addressed the love and support he is receiving for his good work with a statement declaring that he will be writing a book about his experience. He wrote, “I want to thank God for making me a catalyst in helping the migrants. While my heart beats in Mumbai, after this movement I feel a part of me lives in the villages of UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Uttarakhand and various other states where I have now found new friends and made deep connections. I have decided to put these experiences, stories that are embedded in my soul forever, in a book. I’m excited, nervous and overwhelmed, and I can’t wait to connect with you through my book. I look forward to your support-and love you all”.
