Mumbai, December 13: It seems all is not well between two Bollywood diva's Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandez as the Street Dancer actress has filed a defamation suit against Jacqueline alleging that she made statements “to destroy her career”.
It should be noted Fatehi and Fernandez have both been questioned in a money laundering case filed against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
Nora said, "Jacqueline Fernandes 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."
Nora filed this defamatory case against Jacqueline after the latter gave a written plea in the PMLA court and submitted that "she was being falsely implicated by the ED while celebs such as Nora Fatehi who had also received gifts from conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar had been made witnesses".
Refuting Jacqueline's claims, Nora said that she had nothing to do with the matter and that she had no contact directly with Sukesh Chandrashekhar, but she only knew the conman through his wife, Lena Maria Paul.
Nora also denied receiving gifts from the conman, as previously claimed by Jacqueline. "It is pertinent to mention herein that both the complainant (Nora Fatehi) and the accused (Jacqueline Fernandez) are actresses of foreign origin and both have had their share of struggles in rising to fame in the Indian film industry, hence, it is evident that the act of the accused in dragging the name of the complainant wherein she has no business mentioning the complainant is mala fide in nature," the plea read.
