Sonakshi Sinha denies fraud allegations against her; threatens legal action – read official statement

Refuting the allegations made against her for cheating and fraud, Sonakshi Sinha has now revealed her side of the story. The actress’ management company released an official statement to clear her stand about the ongoing controversy. According to reports, an FIR has been filed against the actress and four others – Malvika Punjabi, Dhumil Thakkar, Abhishek Sinha and Edgar Sakaria – charging them with fraud and cheating. This case of fraud was filed against Sonakshi by an event organizer, Pramod Sharma in Uttar Pradesh, who claimed that the actress failed to turn up at a Delhi event last year (2018), inspite of taking an advance payment of approximately Rs 32 lakh. This caused major losses to the company, the reports claim.

With these reports emerging, Sonakshi’s management company decided to clear her stand and has released the following statement on her behalf. The statement says that contrary to the claims made by the organiser, it was his company that did not revert to Sonakshi or her team’s attempts to communicate. The statement reads: “Sonakshi was approached by the event organisers in Delhi to attend an event. However, despite repeated reminders, the organiser failed make the payments to Sonakshi before the event as contracted. The tickets to Delhi were not in order/as were agreed, the organiser also didn’t send return tickets for Sonakshi and her team, despite knowing that she had a shoot the next morning after the event. This put everyone in a tough spot. Several attempts were made to contact the organiser requesting hum to make the contracted payments and send the tickets, however they remained incommunicado and didn’t live up to their end of the bargain.”

The statement continues: “Due to a lack of commitment by the organiser, Sonakshi and her team were left with no choice but to return home from Mumbai airport. Ever since that day, Sonakshi’s management agency has been trying to reach out to the organiser to find a amicable solution to the extent of offering an alternate date and tried to connect but to no avail. The organiser is now using the media to release false and manipulated facts. If the organiser doesn’t stop at this, Sonakshi and her team will be forced to take a legal course of action to set this straight. We request media to not let anyone use their platform without looking into the facts.” What do you have to say about the controversy? Do let us know in the comments section below.
