In her statement, Fernandez said that she was introduced to Sukesh as the owner of Sun TV and he claimed late Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa was his aunt. She added that Chandrashekahra told her that he was a huge fan and asked her to do films in South India too. The actor said that Sukesh asked her to work together and went on to ‘ruin her career and livelihood’.

Jacqueline said that she got to know the reality of conman Sukesh only after his criminal background was revealed. She added that Pinky Irani was aware of his background, but she never told her the truth.

Meanwhile, Nora Fatehi, another name in the case, also issued a statement as a witness in the court. Bollywood dancer and actor Nora Fatehi said that Sukesh offered to finance her career if she becomes her girlfriend.
