Sonakshi Sinha slams Vivek Agnihotri for spreading fake news about her

From day one, Sonakshi Sinha has been supporting lockdown and telling her fans to stay at home and be safe. However, a picture in a tabloid created a controversy for Sonakshi.

Well, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, posted the picture of Sonakshi from the tabloid, and tweeted, “Who shoots in such times?” To this, the actress replied, "Being a Director and member of many unions and film bodies one would expect you to be better informed that Absolutely NO one is shooting since studios are shut and its a national lockdown! I believe Classic freeze frame means throwback in @MumbaiMirror terms, clearly meaning its an old picture, from 5th Nov 2019 to be precise! Aaah... those were the days!"


The actress later posted, “Excuse me @MumbaiPolice , @OfficeofUT what is the procedure to stop people from spreading rumors and fake news at a time like this? Asking for a responsible citizen, sitting at home, practicing social distancing and NOT shooting – ME.”

In his clarification, the filmmaker replied, “The dig is at @MumbaiMirror not you. If I have to say something to you, I’d tag you. It’s very insensitive to print such pictures in a trying time like this giving wrong impression. As a star you should also very strongly condemn this kind of yellow and insensitive journalism.” To this, Sonakshi replied, “U haven’t tagged who ur taking a dig at,nor did u mention source of the picture.Nor hv u replied or clarified to anyone attacking me after ur statement.Rule no.1 of taking a dig - dont post someone else's picture 2 take a dig at someone else,be specific.Thank u & goodbye.”

Well, we must say that Sonakshi gave a befitting reply to Vivek Agnihotri.

Talking about her movies, Sonakshi will next be seen on the big screen on Bhuj: The Pride Of India. The movie is slated to release on  14th August 2020.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
