Reports of Jacqueline Fernandez trying to defame Nora Fatehi started doing the rounds after the dancer filed a defamation case against Fernandez in Rs. 200 Crore extortion case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar. In her complaint, Fatehi alleged that the Kick actress made defamatory allegations against her to destroy her career. Now, Jacqueline’s lawyer Prashant Patil has responded to this and revealed his client has no intentions to defame Nora and that she has not spoken to any media in this regard.
Speaking with ETimes, Prashant Patil said they have not received any official correspondence from Nora on the matter yet. He was quoted saying, “Jacqueline has not made any statement in front of any electronic or print media against Nora or for that matter, any other person. She has consciously avoided talking about the Enforcement Directorate proceedings. Till date she has maintained the sanctity of law and because the matter is subjudice she has always avoided to speak in front of print and social media.”
