She’s got more than 57 million followers on Instagram and has cemented her name as a top league Bollywood star. So when she was connected to a high-profile money laundering case because of an alleged relationship nobody knew about, Jacqueline Fernandez made headlines for all the wrong reasons. To make matters worse, while she remained mum on the issue, it was revealed late last year that her would-be lover, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, is actually married and that her name appeared in his charge sheet.

She was further scrutinised after it was confirmed she had been questioned by officials for her potential role in the case. Things haven’t let up since the start of 2022, with a leaked saucy picture of the two together seemingly putting all doubts of their relationship to rest.
