Jacqueline Fernandez to fight ‘very aggressively’ against Nora Fatehi’s defamation suit and even plans to file a countersuit, reveals her lawyer

Jacqueline Fernandez to fight ‘very aggressively’ against Nora Fatehi’s defamation suit and even plans to file a countersuit, reveals her lawyer

Reports of Nora Fatehi filing a defamation case against Jacqueline Fernandez have been doing the rounds in the media since yesterday. Fernandez’s lawyer, Prashant Patil has now said that they are ready to fight it out aggressively in court, and even plan to file a countersuit.

For those not in the know, both Bollywood actresses were questioned by the Indian Enforcement Directorate over the past couple of months in connection with an approximately £1,95,23,980 extortion case connected to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. It was reported that Fernandez was also dating the conman.


If Indian news portals are to be believed, the defamation suit filed by Fatehi reads, “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 Fernandez is filed over the latter’s written pleading before the court. The Kick (2014) actress submitted in the court 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.”

Fernandez’s lawyer Prashant Patil has now said, “Right now, Jacqueline will not react to it as of now because the court has not taken cognizance of that suit yet. It is only Nora, or somebody, who has leaked the news into the media. Let the court take cognizance, if they do, we will definitely go for quashing it. And once Nora steps into the box, we will definitely conduct cross-examination.”

He continued, “First, where did this come from? Fernandez has replied in the court to the higher authority where there was me, ED and the authority. And these proceedings are not made in the public domain. If that is not made in the public domain, it is not defamation… During the course of arguments, whatever is said, cannot be raised to defamation and can’t be put in public domain. If certain media agencies have pulled out her responses and circulated, it is for the media agencies to answer,” he says.

He also added that he has not received any defamation suit copy from Nora and if they do, they will respond to it very strongly. “I have not got any official copy out of the courtroom yet, whatever I’ve gotten is only from the media. Even the court can also reject the notice… It is for the court to decide. It is premature at this stage. But if she has actually done it, we will deal with it very strongly. And once Jacqueline is out of it, then, we will build a countersuit of defamation,” he added.

Patil further said, “That is very unfortunate because Jacqueline has utmost respect for Nora to begin with. She has not consciously given any statement, forget about Nora, about anything for that matter. She has consciously stayed away from making any kind of a statement. If something like this comes up in the media circle, it will be dealt with legally. That being said, we will fight it very aggressively. If Jacqueline is dragged to the court, we are ready to fight it aggressively in the court.”

Naga Chaitanya reacts to a fan saying he can’t act – Here’s what he had to say!

Naga Chaitanya, known for his charm and candidness, recently found himself in the spotlight during a fun Q&A session with his Thandel co-star Sai Pallavi. The actor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, faced a cheeky question from a fan that left everyone laughing.

When Sai Pallavi read out a fan’s question, “Acting epudu nerchukuntav? (When will you learn acting?)” Chaitanya appeared stunned for a brief moment, staring blankly at the camera as if processing the unexpected question. He then responded with a mix of surprise and humour, Epudu nerchukuntav enti? (What do you mean, when will I learn?)”


Instead of getting defensive, the Thandelstar took it in stride and responded with a smile: "Honestly, acting is a continuous process. You never fully learn it; you keep growing with every project. If you think you’ve mastered it, that’s when you stop progressing. So, I’m still learning every single day."

While some appreciated his humility, others found the moment hilarious. Social media was soon buzzing with reactions, with many praising Chaitanya for handling the question with grace rather than taking offence. Some fans even tagged the person who originally asked the question, letting them know their comment had made its way to the actor.

This isn’t the first time Chaitanya has addressed criticism. In a recent interview, he opened up about dealing with trolls, admitting that while it bothered him early in his career, he has learnt to ignore the noise. “Clarifying things only leads to more drama. It’s a vicious cycle,” he said, adding that he now focuses on his work rather than responding to negativity.

Chaitanya’s upcoming film, Thandel, marks his third collaboration with director Chandoo Mondeti and his second pairing with Sai Pallavi after their hit film Love story. The survival drama, set to release on February 7, has already generated buzz, with fans eagerly waiting to see the duo’s chemistry on screen once again.

Having faced a mixed bag of box office results in recent years, Thandel is a crucial release for Chaitanya. Fans are eager to see if this film will mark a new chapter in his career and whether his continuous learning process pays off on the big screen.

'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' revival confirmed: Sarah Michelle Gellar returns for a new era

Sarah Michelle Gellar has finally answered the call of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans and it’s about time. After years of “will they, won’t they” rumours, she’s confirmed that a revival is officially happening. “I’ve always heard the fans,” she said, making it clear she wouldn’t come back unless it felt right. Now, with a fresh twist on the Slayer story and a killer creative team, the project is moving forward, and fans are already dusting off their stakes in excitement.

The idea for the revival started three years ago when producer Gail Berman set up what was supposed to be a quick coffee chat between Gellar and Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao. What was meant to be 20 minutes turned into a four-hour conversation about Buffy’s legacy and why it still matters. At first, Gellar wasn’t sold on the idea, but as talks continued with Zhao and writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, she started to see the potential.
