Actor sues luxury brand Land Rover for ₹50 Crore, alleging 'faulty' car
**"Actor Seeks ₹50 Crore from Land Rover Over 'Faulty' Car Issues"**
Bollywood actress Rimi Sen has filed a ₹50 crore lawsuit against Land Rover, alleging significant issues with her vehicle and mental distress caused by ongoing repairs. Sen purchased the car for ₹92 lakh in 2020 from Satish Motors Pvt. Ltd., an authorized Jaguar Land Rover dealer, with a warranty valid until January 2023. Due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, the car was scarcely used until restrictions eased.
Upon resuming regular use, Sen encountered persistent problems, including a malfunctioning sunroof, sound system, and rear-end camera. A critical incident occurred on August 25, 2022, when the faulty rear-end camera reportedly caused the car to collide with a pillar. Despite notifying the dealer, Sen claims the response was dismissive, requiring evidence before addressing the issues. This led to multiple repair attempts with recurring faults.
Sen's legal notice alleges that the car is defective both in its manufacturing and maintenance, claiming over ten repair attempts have failed to resolve the issues. She accuses Land Rover of causing her mental harassment and significant inconvenience. In addition to ₹50 crore in damages for emotional distress, Sen seeks ₹10 lakh for legal expenses and demands a replacement vehicle.
