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.

If you’ve been wondering what to watch next on Netflix, don’t worry, Imran Khan has you covered. We have been given a solid movie recommendation, and that too from a former Prime Minister.
On Wednesday, Imran Khan, the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), recommended a Netflix movie to his supporters. During a televised speech, he asked his followers to watch the film to understand how officers investigating Salman Shehbaz’s money laundering case died.
Although Khan did not name the movie, he said it was about a serial-killing nurse who murdered people via insulin injections.
The movie is ‘The Good Nurse ‘ and it was released on Netflix on October 26, 2022. The film stars Hollywood A-listers Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. It is based on the real life story of serial killer Charles Cullen, a male nurse, who killed 29 people during his 16 year medical career before his arrest in 2003, mostly through injected insulin.
Cullen, who is currently incarcerated at the State Penitentiary in New Jersey, was eventually handed down 11 consecutive life sentences.
The Good Nurse holds a 76 per cent review aggregator score on Rotten Tomatoes and has generally received praise for the lead actors.
It’s not everyday that a former Prime Minister recommends a movie. We might as well watch to see if it’s worth the hype.
A district and sessions court in Islamabad has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to appear in person before the court on January 9 (Monday) and issued a notice to him in this regard.
The court has admitted the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) plea against Khan in the Toshakana case.
On December 12, the court reserved its verdict after a plea filed by ECP.
Last month, ECP, in a consensus verdict in the Toshakana reference, disqualified the former prime minister and ruled that the PTI chief was no more a member of the National Assembly.
The ECP stated that the PTI chief had submitted a false affidavit and was found involved in corrupt practices under Article 63(1)(p).

On Thursday, Sindh Prosecutor General Faiz H Shah informed the Sindh High Court (SHC) of the development. During the hearing, the high court ordered that no cases should be registered against him.
A two-member SHC bench, comprising Justice KK Agha and Justice Arshad Hussain Khan, took up the plea.
The prosecutor general informed the bench at the hearing that Swati had been transferred to Islamabad and all cases registered against him in Sindh were being disposed of as C-Class, which means disposal of the case for being non-cognisable.
“Consequently, all FIRs will now become ineffective,” he said.
Speaking to the media after the hearing, Swati’s lawyer Anwar Mansoor Khan said that 34 cases were registered against his client in Sindh and all have now been categorised as “C class”.
Swati was initially booked by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Islamabad over a “highly obnoxious campaign of intimidating tweets against state institutions” and subsequently arrested by the agency.
Later, multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered against him in Sindh and Balochistan for using “derogatory language” and “provoking the people against the army”.
