Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, in her reply to India’s Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in a INR 2,000 million money laundering case against Sukesh Chandrasekhar, claims she was forced to accept gifts from the 'conman'.
In April, the ED had ordered the attachment of Jacqueline’s fixed deposits worth INR 72 million in the case. Moreover, the directorate had named the actress in a charge-sheet earlier this month accusing her of being involved in the crime.
In her response Jacqueline said: “Just because she is a recipient of certain gifts which were forced on her for forming a connect, can’t be used to ignore the fact which the record otherwise clearly shows that she was conned by Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The approach of ED, unfortunately, seems to be highly mechanical and motivated, hence, blinded towards the fact that respondent (Jacqueline) has lost more than what can be measured in money.”
“What I have lost and suffered as a woman cannot be calculated in monetary terms.” She said that the most she can be accused of is receiving gifts from Chandrasekhar. The actor added that she had earned her assets through blood and sweat.
