Even as several Bollywood stars are contesting in the ongoing general elections, others have been urging citizens to exercise their power and cast their vote. In the latest development, Sonu Sood, who hails from Moga, has been selected by the deputy election commissioner to encourage voting in Punjab.

Interestingly, this comes two months after the actor was accused of allegedly willing to promote political parties in exchange for cash, in a sting operation conducted by an investigative website. He had rubbished the allegations, calling it "a clear case of sabotage".
