This, Fatehi claimed, was an attempt to defame him and destroy his career.
“Jacqueline Fernandes sought to criminally defame the complainant to further her interests, as they both are working in the same industry and have similar backgrounds, among other reasons,” read their plea.
His plea states that Fernandez’s statements were made to malign his image, while Fatehi has nothing to do with the case.
“It is pertinent to mention here that both the complainant (Nora Fatehi) and the accused (Jacqueline Fernandez) are actresses of foreign origin and both have struggled to get fame in the Indian film industry, therefore, it is evident that the petition states That the act of the accused in dragging the name of the complainant, in which he has no business to mention the complainant, is malicious in nature.
