MUMBAI: Sonakshi Sinha has dismissed reports of a non-bailable warrant against her as "the work of a rogue individual." She has the media not to participate in what she describes as a "harassment charade."

The 34-year-old actress is accused of fraud in a case dating back to 2019 which, as she points out in her statement today, is sub-judice; Sonakshi alleges that the "fake news" about the supposed warrant is an attempt at extortion and publicity.

Issuing a clarification on the same, Sonakshi said in a statement, “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.”

She further added that her legal team is taking legal action in the matter. "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."

Sonakshi Sinha made her debut opposite Salman Khan in 2010 film Dabangg; she was last seen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India.
