Nora Fatehi sues Jacqueline Fernandez. Here is why

Actor Nora Fatehi has filed a defamation suit against Jacqueline Fernandez at a Delhi court.

Actor Nora Fatehi has filed a defamation suit against Jacqueline Fernandez. Nora Fatehi alleged that Jacqueline Fernandez made “defamatory imputations against her due to malicious reasons”.

“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 Fatehi said in her plea.

Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi were both questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case lodged against conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

Nora Fatehi had filed a defamatory case against Jacqueline over the latter’s written pleading before the PMLA court where she 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.”

Actor Nora Fatehi refuted all allegations and said she had nothing to do with the matter. She claimed she had no contact directly with Sukesh Chandrashekhar, only through his wife, Lena Maria Paul. The actor further denied recieving any gifts from the conman.

“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 stated.

Apart from Jacqueline Fernandez, Nora Fatehi also named several media houses in her defamation plea. She alleged that the “collective hounding of her by multiple media houses is akin to a mob lynching”, adding that it had happened “at the behest of Jacqueline Fernandez”.
