Bollywood actor Sonu Sood's wife, Sonali Sood, was injured in a serious car accident on the Mumbai-Nagpur highway on the night of March 24, 2025. Sonali, aged 54, was traveling with her nephew when their vehicle collided with a stationary truck on the Wardha Road flyover, resulting in significant damage to their car.
According to reports, Sonali’s sister, Sumita Salve, also 55, was with them during the incident. The three were returning home after arriving at Nagpur airport. Following the accident, they were quickly transported to Max Hospital in Nagpur for treatment, where both Sonali and Sumita are currently under observation. Her nephew received first aid for minor injuries and has since been discharged from the hospital.
Sonu Sood, who was alerted to his wife’s accident, rushed to be by her side in Nagpur. In an interview with India Today, he expressed relief when he stated, "She’s doing fine now. Had a miraculous escape. Om Sai Ram." This statement highlights the family's gratitude as they navigate this harrowing experience.
Photos from the accident scene depict the wreckage of their vehicle, underscoring the severity of the crash. Thankfully, despite the circumstances, no life-threatening injuries were reported. Sources close to the family noted that Sonali is responding well to treatment and is expected to be discharged by March 25, enabling her to travel back home to Mumbai.
In light of the accident, many fans have taken to social media, wishing Sonali a swift recovery. This incident comes at a time when Sonu Sood is already managing significant public attention due to a legal issue: a court in Punjab recently issued an arrest warrant against him in connection with an alleged fraud case involving approximately ₹10 lakh. This case has drawn considerable media coverage and public scrutiny.
Reports state that the fraud case, instituted by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna, claims he deceived an investor regarding a fake Rijika coin investment. Sonu Sood had been summoned to appear before court but failed to do so, leading to the issuance of the warrant. The court directive highlights the seriousness of the allegations against the actor, ordering his arrest for non-compliance.
Sonu, best known for his performances in films such as Jodhaa Akbar and Dabangg, gained widespread recognition for his humanitarian efforts during the Covid pandemic, providing aid to those in need and becoming a symbol of hope for many. His wife, Sonali, met him during college, where she pursued an MBA at Nagpur University, and they married in 1996. The couple is proud parents of two sons, Ayaan and Ishant, and Sonali has largely maintained a low profile despite her husband’s fame.
This incident has drawn parallels to a previous story where Sonu Sood bravely rescued a 19-year-old trapped in a car after a serious road accident in Moga, Punjab. His heroic act earned him the respect of many, further establishing his reputation as a compassionate public figure.
As Sonu handles the emotional strain of his wife’s accident and the upcoming court case, his gratitude for the support and prayers from fans and friends remains evident. The community response signifies the impact he has made both on and off the screen.
Reflecting on the dual challenges before him, Sonu stated, "By the grace of Sai Baba, there was no major disaster," emphasizing the importance of family and health during these trying times. As the couple navigates these turbulent waters, fans and followers alike are hoping for a swift and complete recovery for Sonali while supporting Sonu in his ongoing legal battles.
