Actor
Sonu
Sood
was
recently
in
news
after
the
Income
Tax
department
conducted
raids
at
his
Mumbai
residence
and
offices
in
connection
with
allegations
against
him
of
evading
taxes
and
illegal
funding
under
his
foundation.
Later
while
speaking
with
a
few
publications,
Sood
denied
these
claims
and
said
that
he
is
a
law-abiding
citizen
of
the
country.
In
his
latest
interview
with
ETimes,
the
Simmba
actor
has
shared
details
about
the
raids
which
were
conducted
at
his
residence
for
four
days
in
a
row.
Sonu
revealed
that
the
raid
came
as
a
surprise
to
him,
adding
that
he
made
sure
that
he
was
a
great
host
to
them.
Sonu
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
news
portal,
"It
was
a
surprise
when
one
day
they
came
in
early
in
the
morning.
While
my
elder
son
was
travelling,
my
younger
son
got
stuck
in
the
house
for
many
days
as
you
can't
leave
the
house
till
the
officials
are
done
with
their
duties.
I
am
a
very
good
host.
I
welcomed
them
home
and
made
sure
they
were
comfortable
and
were
taken
care
of.
I
told
them
that
since
they
were
going
to
be
our
guests
for
the
next
three-four
days,
I
would
like
to
make
this
a
special
experience
for
them.
I
told
them,
'You
might
be
doing
so
many
raids
through
the
year,
but
at
the
time
of
leaving
my
place,
you
will
say
that
this
was
the
best
experience
so
far.'
So,
after
four
days,
I
asked
them
the
question,
and
they
admitted
to
this
being
their
best
experience
so
far.
And
I
said
that
it
will
remain
the
best
ever.
When
they
left,
I
said,
'I
am
going
to
miss
you,'
and
we
all
had
a
good
laugh."
The
actor
revealed
that
the
officials
were
kind
and
sweet
and
appreciated
his
work
calling
it
'phenomenal'.
"They
acknowledged
the
kind
of
work
that
I
have
been
doing.
They
appreciated
my
work
and
said,
'We
know
the
kind
of
work
that
you
have
been
doing.
It
is
phenomenal.'
They
were
kind
and
sweet.
They
saw
all
the
emails
and
messages
where
people
were
asking
for
help
-
to
get
a
liver
transplant
or
even
asking
to
save
their
lives.
There
were
people
standing
in
front
of
my
house,
on
the
roads
and
spending
their
nights
and
days
out
there
waiting
for
me
to
come
out.
It
showed
how
much
trust
they
have
in
me.
During
these
three-four
days
of
inquiry,
these
officials
would
ask
for
documents,
and
we
would
provide
them.
This
used
to
go
on
the
whole
day,
from
early
morning
till
the
night.
They
were
making
sure
everything
was
in
place," Sonu
revealed
while
speaking
with
the
daily.
Further
when
asked
to
share
his
thoughts
about
what
must
have
triggered
this
raid,
"Sonu
replied,
They
will
be
the
right
people
to
answer
this
question.
I
was
doing
my
job
before
and
will
continue
to
do
so
after
they
have
left.
There
have
been
almost
12
surgeries
that
we
have
helped
get
done
in
the
last
few
days
after
they
left.
At
my
end,
nothing
will
stop
me."
Last
year,
Sonu
was
in
the
limelight
for
his
humanitarian
work
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
