Bollywood actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood, who is currently on a promotional spree for his upcoming film Fateh claimed that his acts of kindness once got him an offer to become a Chief Minister. Sonu shared that the position was offered by some ‘powerful people’ who also tried to convince him for Deputy Chief Minister and a seat in the Rajya Sabha, all of which he rejected. 

Why Sonu Sood rejected the Chief Minister’s position 

In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Sonu Sood was asked about joining politics, to which he said, “I was offered the position of Chief Minister. When I refused, they told me to become deputy chief minister. These were very big people in the country who also offered me a seat in the Rajya Sabha. They told me to take it and that there was no need to fight for anything in politics. It's an exciting phase when such powerful people want to meet you and encourage you to make a difference in the world.”
