Nora used to call me 10 times a day, I was dating Jacqueline: Sukesh's statement

Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandez, who are being questioned in connection with the ₹200 crore money laundering case linked with alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, recently locked horns.

Now, as per news agency ANI, Sukesh has claimed that he was in a relationship with Jacqueline and Nora was jealous of her. In a statement, Sukesh said Nora used to call him 10 times a day seeking favour, while he started dating Jacqueline.

‘I started avoiding Nora but she kept irritating me,’ Sukesh said in a press statement issued through his lawyers Anant Malik and AK Singh.

The statement read that Nora used to brainwash Sukesh against Jacqueline so that he would leave the ‘Ram Setu’ actor and start dating her. Nora reportedly wanted Sukesh to help her in setting up a music production company for a relative. She used to send him photos of expensive bags and jewellery that she wanted.

‘Ask her to produce one bill of Hermes bags that she has, she can never produce as she does not have. The bags are worth more than ₹2 crore,’ the statement said.

Sukesh in his statement stated that he respects all women and therefore won't put out screenshots of chats to assassinate their character. He said allegations against Jacqueline brought by Nora were fabricated.

For the unversed, Nora Fatehi filed a criminal complaint against Jacqueline Fernandez for allegedly defaming her by dragging her name in the Sukesh case. The matter is likely to be heard by a Delhi court on March 25.
