Bollywood stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi have a massive fan base and are loved all across the world. The actors have been questioned in a money laundering case filed by Enforcement Directorate against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

However, yesterday there were reports that Nora has filed a defamation suit against Jacqueline claiming the latter 'made defamatory imputations' against her for 'malicious reasons' with an intent to 'destroy her career to further her interests'.

But today, Jacqueline's lawyer has responded to the claims. Jacqueline Fernandez's lawyer Prashant Patil revealed that the actress has never spoken ill about Nora Fatehi on any public or private platform. He avoided talking about the Enforcement Directorate proceedings. The lawyer also added that he has not received any defamation suit copy from Nora and if they do they will respond to it legally.

In Nora Fatehi's plea, as reported by the sources,'Jacqueline Fernandes sought to criminally defame the complainant in order to destroy her career to further her own interests, since they are both working in the same industry and have similar backgrounds, amongst other reasons.'

The defamatory case against Jacqueline is filed over the latter's written pleading before the court. She submitted that "she was being falsely implicated by the ED while celebs such as Nora Fatehi who had also received gifts from conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar had been made witnesses."

Both Jacqueline and Nora are speculated to have received expensive gifts and favors from Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Prashant further said, 'Jacqueline has the utmost respect for Nora. There definitely has been some sort of miscommunication'.

However, both actresses have been questioned by Enforcement Directorate several times and had recorded their statements.
