Sonu Sood proud of sister Malvika after Punjab elections, extends thanks people of Moga

Actor Sonu Sood was linked to a foray into politics ever since he helped people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and was also seen with politicians across parties. However, it was his sister, Malvika Sachar Sood who entered the political battlefield as the actor continued to deny any plans to join any political party. 

Malvika Sood Sachar, who is an engineering graduate and a social worker, joined the Congress party ahead of the Punjab elections. She was fielded by the party for the Moga constituency, where the sibling duo had been born and brought up. Despite Sonu campaigning for his sister, the debutant lost amid the Aam Aadmi Party's stunning victory in the state.

After the declaration of the results, the duo extended a message of gratitude for the support they received from the people of the area.
