Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has called upon her fans and media to respect her privacy after her picture of an intimate moment with alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar went viral on social media.
An intimate picture of Jacqueline and Sukesh went viral on the internet and was used by several media houses to establish a deeper link between the actress and the con artist.
Jacqueline in a tweet on Saturday appealed to people not to circulate the images, intruding on her privacy and personal space.
She said that she has been facing a tough and tumultuous time in her life and she hopes to bounce back soon.
“This country and its people have always given me tremendous love and respect. This includes my friends from the media, from whom I have learned a lot. I am currently going through a rough patch but I am sure that my friends and fans will see me through it.
“It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude on my privacy and personal space. You would not do this to your own loved ones, am sure you would not do this to me either. Hoping that justice and good sense prevails. Thank you,” she said in a statement.
In the picture, she is seen in a compromising position with Sukesh who is accused of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a Rs 200 Crore money laundering case.
Aditi S Singh, the wife of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Fortis and Religare Enterprises Shivinder Singh, had charged Sukesh for cheating Rs 200 crore on the promise of helping her in her husband in a case of scam.
