Sonakshi Sinha Mumbai/UNI/IBNS: Days after being linked to Salman Khan in a photoshopped image that took the Internet by storm, there have been reports now doing rounds that Sonakshi Sinha has a non-bailable warrant issued against her for fraud.
The actress has hit out on social media with a clarification, calling the whole issue a “harassment case” against herself.
She also requested the media not carry the “fake news” and said that the individual complicit in this whole affair is seeking publicity and wants to extort money using her name.
Minutes after the statement, Sonakshi shared a picture of herself posing with her cup of coffee and wrote, "#HouseArrest" with multiple laugh emojis.
The 34 year old actress was allegedly accused of being a no show for an event held in Delhi for which she was chief guest.
The organizer of the event said that she was paid over Rs 37 lakh to attend and after being a no show upon asking her to return the money, her manager refused.
So he "had to approach Muradabad Court".
Issuing a statement on the issue, Sonakshi on Instagram said: “There have been rumours of a non bailable warrant issued against me floating in the media, without any verification from any authorities since a few days now. This is pure fiction and the work of a rogue individual trying to harass me."
"I request all media houses, journalists and news reporters not to carry this fake news as it is playing into this individual's agenda to gain publicity. This man is purely trying to gain some publicity and extort money from me by attacking my reputation which i have very proudly built over the years, by planting these malicious articles in the media. Kindly do not participate in this harassment charade," she said.
“This matter is subjudice before the Muradabad court and has been stayed by the Allahabad High Court.
"My legal team will be taking all the necessary action against him for contempt of court and defaming me. This will be my only comment on this matter until the Muradabad Court has passed its verdict, so please do not approach me for the same. I am home and i can assure you there are no warrants issued against me," she said.
