On Saturday (June 19) the internet was abuzz after a report claimed that Bollywood actor Sonu Sood had purchased a Rs 3 crore luxurious car for his elder son, Ishaan, who recently turned 18. As per the report, Sonu had bought the swanky car on the occasion of Father’s Day.

The ‘Dabangg’ actor, however, on Sunday (June 20) rebutted the report and said the car was brought from for trial. While speaking to Spotboye, Sonu said, “There is no truth to this . I haven’t bought a car for my son. The car was brought to our home for a trial. We went on a test run. But that’s it. We didn’t buy the car.”

Wondering where the Father’s Day angle popped up from, the actor said, “Why would I give my son a car on Father’s Day? Shouldn’t he be giving me something? After all, it's my day!”

Sonu added, “Jokes aside, the best Father's Day gift my two sons can give me is to spend the day with me. I hardly have any time for them. Now that they’re growing up, they have their own life. So spending the day together is a luxury that I think I’ve earned myself.” 

Sonu feels humbled by the response of netizens towards the news of him buying the car. He said, “I think 90 percent of the comments below the reports were favourable. They said, if I had purchased  a car it’s about time I did something for myself and my family. This positivity and  unquestioning love that I’ve got during these months when I have reached out to people with a helping hand, are the best gift I’ve received in my life. No matter how much the skeptics try to influence  public opinion against  me, my good work won’t be doubted by my well-wishers out there.” 

Sonu has been consistency praised for his philanthropic work during the COVID-19 pandemic. From helping migrants reach their home to providing oxygen cylinders to the needy, the actor has done it all. When asked about people questioning his sources of charitable resources, Sonu is unperturbed. 

“Let them  ask the  questions. I have the answers for those I am answerable to.The rest I don’t care about. The doubters can’t deter me  from my work. I will continue to help the needy.” He said.
