Chahatt Khanna, who is one of the actors summoned by ED in the extortion and money laundering case, said that she met a well-dressed man who introduced himself as the owner of a TV channel and ex-Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalitha’s nephew. She said that when she asked him why he called her to meet in the jail, he went down to his knees. She shouted that she is married and has two kids to which Sukesh replied that her husband was not the right man for her.
In the interview, she also said that she did not come to know Sukesh’s reality till ED summoned her in the case in which he is the prime accused.
Other Bollywood actors including Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi are also named in the case. The actors had made similar claims of meeting a man who calls himself the owner of a South Indian TV channel and Jayalalitha’s nephew.
