Find out all about how Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez, Nora Fatehi and others got involved with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

Prominent Bollywood actors have recently made headlines for their involvement with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is the primary accused in a Rs 200 crore scam case. Among them, Jacqueline Fernandez’s relationship with Sukesh has been under the radar since last year. On Saturday, sources revealed that Jacqueline Fernandez had at one point considered marrying the conman.

Apart from Jacqueline, authorities have revealed Sukesh’s connection to other actors like Nora Fatehi, Nikita Tamboli, Chahat Khanna, Sophia Singh and Arusha Patil.

But how did Bollywood’s big names get involved with the conman?

The one person who connects all these actors to the conman is his close associate Pinky Irani. Irani was tasked by the conman and paid in crores to introduce him to actor Jacqueline Fernandez.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had charged Pinky for introducing Jacqueline by giving false information about Sukesh Chandrasekhar. According to sources, Pinky helped Sukesh with meeting the actors inside jail and passed expensive gifts to them on his behalf.

Jacqueline Fernandez told the ED that Sukesh had introduced himself as the owner of Sun TV and that he belonged to the political family of Jayalalitha. She told the probe agency that he had tried to get in touch with her during December 2020-January 2021 but she did not respond to his calls.

The actor said that she was contacted by someone from the government office and was told to get in touch with Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who posed as one Shekhaar Ratna Vela.
