Troubles are mounting for Bigg Boss fame Nikki Tamboli and TV actress Chahatt Khanna as ED in its charge sheet claimed they received lakhs of cash and expensive gifts from the conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. In the ongoing Rs. 200 crore money laundering case investigation, Enforcement Directorate found out that Nikki, Chahatt, and two more actresses Sophia Singh, and Arusha Patil met the conman while he was in Tihar jail. This shocking development comes a day after ED grilled Bollywood actresses Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi.

Reportedly, she received an amount of Rs. 3.5 lakh in cash and a Gucci bag from Sukesh.
