  • ‘He made my life hell’: Jacqueline Fernandez slams criminal ex-boyfriend Sukesh Chandrashekhar

    ‘He made my life hell’: Jacqueline Fernandez slams criminal ex-boyfriend Sukesh Chandrashekhar

    Bollywood actresses Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi have recorded fresh statements to Delhi’s Patiala House Court with regard to their alleged involvement in the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s INR 200 crore exhortation case.

    The actresses have made some shocking allegations against the conman and revealed how he introduced himself and all promises he made during their alleged relationship with him.

    The conman’s money laundering case has been making headlines for quite some time now. It recently saw names of many other celebs like Nikki Tamboli, Chahatt Khanna, and others emerging.

    Now in a recent development, Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandez accused the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar of lying to them. India Today has accessed the actresses’ statements in the extortion case.

    As reported by the portal, Nora Fatehi said in a statement, “Many actresses are dying to be taken care of by Sukesh. Initially, I did not know who Sukesh was. Later, I thought he used to work at a company called LS Corporation. I neither had any personal contact nor did I ever have any conversations with him. I had no clue about this and I never met him. The only time I saw him was when the ED confronted me with him at its office.”

    While Jacqueline Fernandez said in her testimony that Sukesh Chandrashekhar “played with my emotions and made my life hell.” She said, “Sukesh misled me, and ruined my career and my livelihood. “Pinky Irani (the woman who introduced the actor to the conman) convinced my makeup artist, Shaan Muthathil, that he (Chandrashekhar) was an important official from the Home Ministry.”

    Jacqueline further said, “He introduced himself as the owner of Sun TV and claimed J Jayalalitha was his aunt. Chandrashekhar said he was a big fan, and said I should do films in South India too, and as the owner of Sun TV, they had many projects lined up. We should try to work together in south Indian movies. He never mentioned he was calling from jail or that he was in jail. He used to call from one corner with a curtain and a sofa in the background.”

    “He did not contact me after August 8, 2021, and I later got to know he was arrested for impersonating senior government officials of the Home Ministry and the law ministry. Pinky Irani always had an intention of cheating me. I was fooled by Shekhar (the name used by the conman to interact with the actor). At the time I got to know about Shekhar’s criminal background, I got to know that his real name is Sukesh. Pinky was aware of Shekhar’s activity and background. But she never disclosed this to me.”

    Last year, ED’s first chargesheet mentioned that Chandrashekar gave Fernandez gifts worth over INR 5 crore from the sum he swindled. It has named the actor as an accused, alleging that she was aware that the gifts were bought from the proceeds of the crime. 

    “Sukesh Chandrasekhar had given various gifts worth INR 5.71 crore to Jacqueline Fernandez from the proceeds of crime generated by criminal activities including extortion. “Chandrasekhar had put Pinky Irani, his long-time associate, and co-accused in this case to deliver the said gifts to her,” the ED had then said in a statement.

    Meanwhile, Jacqueline’s pictures with the conman got leaked, she shared a long note on her Instagram account and requested the media and her fans to not circulate her intimate pictures with Sukesh.

    She wrote, “This country and its people have always given me tremendous love and respect. This includes my friends from the media, from whom I have learned a lot. I am currently going through a rough patch but I am sure that my friends and fans will see me through it. It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude my privacy and personal space. You would not do this to your own loved ones, am sure you would not do this to me either. Hoping that justice and good sense prevails. Thank you.”

    Chandrashekhar had claimed that he was in a relationship with the actress. Sukesh is a Bengaluru inhabitant who is currently the subject of 15 FIRs. He was previously accused of defrauding people in Bengaluru and Chennai out of numerous crores. He is currently detained in Tihar Jail in Delhi.

    Athiya Shetty, KL Rahul tie the knot

    After much media speculation, Indian cricketer KL Rahul and Bollywood actor Athiya Shetty tied the knot today in an intimate ceremony held at her father, Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse on Monday.

    Putting an end to fans’ wait, the couple took to Instagram to share the first photos as husband and wife. Safe to say, the newlyweds radiated an unmissable glow and happiness in the pictures.

    “Today, with our most loved ones, we got married in the home that’s given us immense joy and serenity. With a heart full of gratitude and love, we seek your blessings on this journey of togetherness,” they captioned the post, along with a quote saying, “In your light, I learn how to love…”

    For the nuptials, Athiya wore a blush pink chikankari lehenga by designer Anamika Khanna, featuring floral embellishments and embroidery all over. It was paired with a matching full-sleeved blouse featuring a sweetheart neckline and an uneven hemline, along with a semi-sheer dupatta. To accessorise the look, the bride opted for a heavy stone-studded choker with matching dangling earrings, a maang tikka, and dainty kaleerey. Athiya kept it minimal with her makeup to let the bridal glow do the talking.

    Rahul, on the other hand, complemented Athiya in an ivory sherwani, also by Khanna, complete with an embroidered long overcoat and a dupatta worn around his neck. His wedding look was completed with a layered emerald neckpiece.

    Also spotted were the bride’s family members – father Suneil and brother Ahan – who made heads turn in ethnic ensembles. While Suneil wore a chocolate-brown kurta-dhoti set with a layered stone-studded neckpiece and brown flats, Ahan kept it dapper in a white sherwani set complete with a matching long coat and brown juttis.

    Reportedly, KL Rahul and Athiya first started dating in 2019 after being set up by one of their common friends. The same year, they seemingly made their relationship Instagram official, sending the internet into a frenzy. They also went to visit Thailand to ring in the New Year 2020 together.

    Also, despite the couple keeping it low-key, their mushy social media pictures and several pap spottings were enough to make the fans root for them. Of late, Athiya can be seen accompanying Rahul to his overseas tours and the Shettys are often spotted enthusiastically cheering for the cricketer from the stands.

There is a lot of help available from doctors, lasers, skin tightening, and other procedures are available to make you younger, these are our tools and we should use them, I talk about these procedures so that girls and people know that we look good after a lot of treatments and help, there are a lot of treatments available for people like lasers, thread lift, you must take all of these treatments once a year if you want to look good.

    To which the Aangan star replied, “beta 50 saal ki ho rahi hun Feb me ab haath aisey hi hongay, app na dekho agr takleef hoti hai.”

  • Jemima Goldsmith shares the inspiration behind film ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’

    Jemima Goldsmith shares the inspiration behind film ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’

    Screenwriter and producer Jemima Goldsmith has revealed that she came upon the idea to make the film ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ after living in Pakistan and observing arranged marriage committees, which would look for spouses for people.

    “The film kind of started as a joke with my friends who were in their thirties, when i came back to the UK after having lived in Pakistan in those years,” Jemima said on Australian show Project TV.
    “My ex-husband’s family is quite conservative so I lived in a joint family household. I lived with his father, his sisters, their husbands and kids. There were about 24 of us, living under the same house, and all our kids,” she revealed about her marriage to former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Jemima and the cricket hero divorced in _ after __ years of marriage.
    “I did get to see arranged marriages up close, long term ones and ones that were arranged that I was on the committee for. And some of them were like surprisingly, to me, with my pre-conceptions, happy and successful. So when I came back in my thirties, my friends were at the point where they were hoping to settle down, have kids, get married, maybe not get married. We would say if you had seen functional parents..who would they choose for you and would it work? And it became a conversation point, and I think there’s quite a lot to be said for like simmer then boil and walking into love or falling in love. And the idea that they always used to say ‘Love comes at the end of the beginning of marriage’, which is a completely different point of view,” she said.
    Jemima also described the film as ‘the rom-com Pakistan’, showing the colorful, vibrant side of the country that Western audiences don’t often see on the screen
    “It’s the rom-com Pakistan aside from the darkness of politics. It’s the jazz-hands version of Pakistan. Which is nice to show because you don’t often kind to see the colorful, vibrant Pakistan we’re much more used to seeing Pakistanis and Pakistan as a kind of darker place on our screens particularly in the US and the UK.. So it’s nice to show the version of Pakistan that I grew to love.”

    ‘What’s Love Got To Do With?’ releases in cinemas on 24th February.

    An Urdu translation error in ‘Mission Majnu’ is going viral on Pakistani twitter

    As if pretending we greet everybody with ‘adaab’ and wear kajal around our eyes wasn’t enough, now Bollywood can’t even get a simple Urdu text typed properly.

    Twitter was in fits after the trailer for ‘Mission Majnu’ releasedand we got some *chef’s kiss* memes from our twitter users

    But now, eagle-eyed netizens have found another hilarious reason to keep mocking the film and the abysmal representation it offers of Muslims.
    In a viral post by twitter user @karakmufti, a scene from the movie shows a sign in a masjid where the Urdu text is quite absurd.

    This led to users trolling the film all over again, like comedian Jeremy McLellan sharing that the makers of the film had relied on Google Translate for the Urdu text.

    There were many other hilarious reactions to this translation error that are just too brilliant to miss out.
