Bollywood Actress Files Rs 50 Crore Lawsuit Against Land Rover Over Defective Luxury SUV
Bollywood actress Rimi Sen is reportedly facing several issues with her luxury SUV and has filed a lawsuit against Land Rover for Rs. 50 crore.

Since then, the vehicle has experienced multiple technical problems, including issues with the sunroof, sound system, screen, and rear-end camera, leading her to take legal action against the company.

According to reports, Sen’s complaint alleges mental distress due to the ongoing repair issues. She bought the SUV from Satish Motors Private Limited, an authorized Jaguar Land Rover dealer. However, the COVID-19 lockdown prevented her from using the vehicle extensively. Now, as she uses it, she faces significant technical issues.
The actress claims that on August 25, 2022, the rear-end camera malfunctioned, causing the car to collide with a pole. After notifying the dealer, she was asked to provide evidence. Since then, she has encountered various technical faults. Sen’s legal notice asserts that there are deficiencies in both the manufacturing and the service provided by the authorized dealer. Despite sending the car for repairs more than ten times, the issues persist, causing her considerable inconvenience and mental distress. She is seeking Rs. 50 crore in compensation for mental anguish, an additional Rs. 10 lakhs for legal expenses, and a refund for the defective vehicle.
As of now, Land Rover has not issued any official comment on the matter.
