Jacqueline Fernandez, a well-known Bollywood actress, launched her career with films such as Kick, Murder 2, Housefull 2 and 3, Race 2, Judwaa 2 and many others. However, the actress is currently attracting attention for the wrong reasons. Yes, her involvement in the money laundering case has not only negatively affected her image, but also her recent and upcoming films. While the case is still ongoing, let’s take a look at all of the important and critical events that occurred during the process.
When conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar was arrested in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case in August 2021, Jacqueline Fernandez was questioned for four hours by The Enforcement Directorate (ED) about her connection to the conman. Her statement was documented in accordance with the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Sukesh’s luxurious gifts to Jacqueline Fernandez
During her testimony in August and October, Jacqueline admitted to the ED that she received a 1.5 lakh dollar loan from Sukesh, as well as expensive gifts such as a horse worth Rs 52 lakh, three Persian cats worth Rs 9 lakh, gem-studded earrings, and a Hermes bracelet. The conman also allegedly gave the actress a Mini Cooper, which she later returned.
News and reports of Sukesh and Jacqueline’s love affair went viral on the internet, an intimate photo of the couple went viral on social media in January 2022, with the conman kissing the actress and she flaunting her hickey while taking a selfie.
While the actress was heavily chastised for her intimate photo with Sukesh, she issued a statement on her social media accounts revealing that she was going through a difficult time in her life. “This country and its people have always shown me tremendous love and respect,” she said in her statement. This includes my media friends, from whom I have learned a lot . I’m currently going through a difficult time, but I’m confident that my friends and fans will support me. With this trust, I would like to request that my media friends refrain from disseminating images of a nature that intrude on my privacy and personal space. You would never do this to your own loved ones, and I’m sure you would never do it to me. I hope that justice and common sense prevail. Thank you very much”.
While the netizens mocked Jacqueline for her love affair with Sukesh, defended the actress by writing a letter from jail in which he admitted to being in a relationship with the actress and stated that his gifts to the actor were normal as in any relationship.
The letter read, “As I have mentioned before, I and Jacqueline were in a relationship, seeing each other, and the relationship was not based on any kind of monetary benefits like the way it’s projected, commented, and trolled in a bad light. The relationship has lots of love and respect for each other without any expectations. Kindly requesting everyone to stop projecting her in a bad way, as it’s not easy on her, who has only loved without expecting anything. As I have mentioned before that she has no involvement in the ongoing money-laundering case.”
He added, “I have gifted her things and done things for her family, are normal things one would do for his loved one in a relationship. It’s personal. I don’t understand why it’s being made such a big deal. At the same time, I would like to again certain that none of this was ‘proceeds of so-called crime’. It’s all from legitimate earnings and the same would be proved in the court of law very soon.”
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently attached assets worth Rs 7.27 crore belonging to Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, including a Rs 7.12 crore fixed deposit and a sum of Rs 15 lakhs paid by Sukesh to a scriptwriter on Jacqueline’s behalf.
