‘He made my life hell’: Jacqueline Fernandez slams criminal ex-boyfriend Sukesh Chandrashekhar

Bollywood actresses Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi have recorded fresh statements to Delhi’s Patiala House Court with regard to their alleged involvement in the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s INR 200 crore exhortation case.

The actresses have made some shocking allegations against the conman and revealed how he introduced himself and all promises he made during their alleged relationship with him.

The conman’s money laundering case has been making headlines for quite some time now. It recently saw names of many other celebs like Nikki Tamboli, Chahatt Khanna, and others emerging.

Now in a recent development, Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandez accused the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar of lying to them. India Today has accessed the actresses’ statements in the extortion case.

As reported by the portal, Nora Fatehi said in a statement, “Many actresses are dying to be taken care of by Sukesh. Initially, I did not know who Sukesh was. Later, I thought he used to work at a company called LS Corporation. I neither had any personal contact nor did I ever have any conversations with him. I had no clue about this and I never met him. The only time I saw him was when the ED confronted me with him at its office.”

While Jacqueline Fernandez said in her testimony that Sukesh Chandrashekhar “played with my emotions and made my life hell.” She said, “Sukesh misled me, and ruined my career and my livelihood. “Pinky Irani (the woman who introduced the actor to the conman) convinced my makeup artist, Shaan Muthathil, that he (Chandrashekhar) was an important official from the Home Ministry.”

Jacqueline further said, “He introduced himself as the owner of Sun TV and claimed J Jayalalitha was his aunt. Chandrashekhar said he was a big fan, and said I should do films in South India too, and as the owner of Sun TV, they had many projects lined up. We should try to work together in south Indian movies. He never mentioned he was calling from jail or that he was in jail. He used to call from one corner with a curtain and a sofa in the background.”

“He did not contact me after August 8, 2021, and I later got to know he was arrested for impersonating senior government officials of the Home Ministry and the law ministry. Pinky Irani always had an intention of cheating me. I was fooled by Shekhar (the name used by the conman to interact with the actor). At the time I got to know about Shekhar’s criminal background, I got to know that his real name is Sukesh. Pinky was aware of Shekhar’s activity and background. But she never disclosed this to me.”

Last year, ED’s first chargesheet mentioned that Chandrashekar gave Fernandez gifts worth over INR 5 crore from the sum he swindled. It has named the actor as an accused, alleging that she was aware that the gifts were bought from the proceeds of the crime.

“Sukesh Chandrasekhar had given various gifts worth INR 5.71 crore to Jacqueline Fernandez from the proceeds of crime generated by criminal activities including extortion. “Chandrasekhar had put Pinky Irani, his long-time associate, and co-accused in this case to deliver the said gifts to her,” the ED had then said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline’s pictures with the conman got leaked, she shared a long note on her Instagram account and requested the media and her fans to not circulate her intimate pictures with Sukesh.

She wrote, “This country and its people have always given me tremendous love and respect. This includes my friends from the media, from whom I have learned a lot. I am currently going through a rough patch but I am sure that my friends and fans will see me through it. It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude my privacy and personal space. You would not do this to your own loved ones, am sure you would not do this to me either. Hoping that justice and good sense prevails. Thank you.”

Chandrashekhar had claimed that he was in a relationship with the actress. Sukesh is a Bengaluru inhabitant who is currently the subject of 15 FIRs. He was previously accused of defrauding people in Bengaluru and Chennai out of numerous crores. He is currently detained in Tihar Jail in Delhi.

We ain’t the same’: Nora Fatehi slams Jacqueline Fernadez amidst legal battle?

Bollywood actor-dancer Nora Fatehi recently filed a defamation case against fellow actor Jacqueline Fernandez before a Delhi court, according to Indian media, as the Canadian-Moroccan actor believes Fernandez made defamatory statements in order to destroy her career. Both actors were questioned in a money laundering case filed against supposed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

According to The Indian Express, Fatehi’s plea said that the Race 3 star made defamatory imputations” due to malicious reasons with an intent of “destroying her career to further her own interests.” The plea also included media houses that published the details about Fatehi’s connection with the extortion case.

The publication said that Fatehi’s plea included Fernandez’s written statement where she had said that she was “falsely implicated by ED while celebs such as Nora Fatehi who had received gifts from Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar had been made witnesses.”

“Jacqueline Fernandez sought to criminally defame the complainant in order to destroy her career to further her own interests, since they are both working in the same industry and have similar backgrounds, amongst other reasons,” Fatehi’s plea read.

The petition claimed that Fatehi lost out on a lot of opportunities such as a Dubai-based concert and 10 city tours in the US and Canada after the allegations made by Fernandez. It mentioned that she had to renegotiate a settlement with a brand at 50 percent of her original fees.

Amidst the ongoing legal battle, Nora shared a cryptic post on her Instagram stories, which is being touted by netizens as a dig at Jacqueline.

She wrote, “My parents didn’t raise me to take advantage of people. My intentions will always be pure. We ain’t the same.” She also added a smiling face emoji with her post.

As far as the claims by Fernandez are concerned, Fatehi denied receiving any gifts from the alleged conman and said the only time she had ever spoken to him was when his wife made her speak to him over the phone at an event.

In the plea, she acknowledged an iPhone and a handbag from Gucci that she received as gifts from Chandrashekhar’s wife, Leena. About a luxury car, Fatehi said that a payment was made for directing a movie and it was her brother-in-law who was approached by Chandrashekhar, instead of her.

A Delhi court was due to hear arguments on charges against Fernandez but adjourned the hearing to December 20th.

Actor Charlie Sheen admits to having sex with 25 people while being HIV positive

American actor Charlie Sheen has appeared in films like Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Young Guns (1988), The Rookie (1990) and popular sitcoms like Two and a Half Men.

He has won several awards and nominations for his work. However, more than his films he made headlines for his alcohol drug abuse and marital problems. He even went on to admit that he had been diagnosed with HIV and had s*x with 25 people without telling them his health condition.

In 2015, Charlie revealed he is HIV positive in an interview with Matt Lauer. The 56-year-old actor had said that he made the revelation to end a smear campaign and extortion efforts.

Sheen said, “It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life. I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me, threatening the health of so many others that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Charlie Sheen also confided about his health condition with a few people he thought could be trusted but they broke his confidence. He had to pay more than $10 million to keep the illness a secret. By announcing the illness the actor hoped to put an end to it.

Sheen said, “What people forget is that that’s money they’re taking from my children. I trusted them and they were deep in my inner circle, and I thought they could be helpful. My trust turned to their treason. That’s my goal. That’s not my only goal. I think I release myself from this prison today.”

Charlie Sheen further revealed that he told his ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller about his HIV diagnosis. He even informed about the illness to his eldest daughter. However, later during a conversation with Piers Morgan at a London Town Hall event, the actor admitted having had s*x nearly 25 people but insisted on not having an unprotected s*x.

The Hollywood actor said, “I never did. I wouldn’t do that to someone, I would not. The only times I didn’t tell them was because the last 25 times they used it against me and used my medical condition for their own folly and financial gain.”

A report by an Indian portal stated that a well-known director who knows her well has spilled the beans that he wasn’t aware of Chandrashekhar’s business activities, “He showered her with attention and expensive gifts. She fell for it. She probably didn’t check his identity. Which is as bad as Shilpa Shetty claiming she didn’t know what her husband was up to. If you’re dating/marrying someone you can’t be blind to what he does,” says the director.

Years ago Raj Kapoor’s discovery Mandakini of Ram Teri Ganga Maili fame was caught in highly dubious company which damaged her career.

A source told the media portal, “she will seek the help of her Kick costar Salman Khan to bail her out of the situation. This likelihood apart the next few weeks won’t be easy on Ms. Fernandez as she has a lot of answering to do and she may not have the answers that the government agencies are looking for.”
