Actor-dancer Nora Fatehi, on Monday, filed a defamation suit against actor Jacqueline Fernandez, along with 15 media houses, in connection with the Rs. 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. And Fernandez and her legal team are in no mood to let it go.

“I have not got any official copies out of the courtroom yet. The court has not taken cognizance of that suit. It is only Nora, or somebody else, who has leaked the news into the media. Having said that, if Jacqueline is dragged before the court, we are ready to fight it aggressively,” Prashant Patil, Fernandez’s lawyer, tells us.

According to reports, Fatehi has filed the case over a written plea before the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002) court, where Fernandez stated that she was “falsely being implicated by the ED while celebs such as Nora Fatehi, who had also received gifts from conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, had been made witnesses”.

On Fatehi’s claim, Patil shares, “Jacqueline has not consciously given any statement, forget about Nora, about anything for that matter. During the course of arguments, whatever is said, cannot be raised to defamation and can’t be put in public domain.”
