Actor Sonu Sood has been a serial philanthropist since the Covid-19 struck India in 2020. He has claimed to help migrant workers, students, and many more.
In his most recent interview, the actor claimed that he was offered posts such as chief minister, deputy chief minister, and a seat in Rajya Sabha by some "very big people in the country". "They told me to take it and I don't need to fight for anything in politics," he has been quoted as saying.
Sonu Sood has been royally trolled for claiming that he was offered mighty political posts like CM and DCM. No political party would do that in a country like India even if the person in question is the embodiment of virtues and the epitome of popularity. Lateral entrants face severe pushback when they are given mere party posts, forget about CM and all. Sonu Sood must have made the utterance to grab attention ahead of the release of a Hindi movie of his in a couple of weeks. His sister, Malvika Sood, couldn't win as an MLA in 2022. It is tough to believe Sood could have become a CM if he wanted to.
