Sonu Sood: “No Truth To Buying High-End Car For My Son”

 On  Saturday the  internet went wild with a  story that  philanthropist  Sonu Sood had bought a Rs 3 crore  high-end car for his   elder son Ishaan who recently turned 18.The  report  claimed Sonu Sood  had gifted  his  son the luxury car on Father’s Day.

Sonu completely  refutes the  report.  “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.”

Sonu wonders where  the Father’s Day angle came  from. “Why would I gift my son  a  car on Father’s Day? Shouldn’t he  be gifting me  something? After all  it’s my day!  Jokes aside, the best Fatther’s Day  gift my two  sons can gift 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 is gratified  by  the  netizens’ response to the report  on his luxury-car indulgence. “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.”

Of late  there  have been many questions about the  sources of Soonu’s charitable resources. He  is  unfazed.  “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.”
