Both the actors have shared details of the gifts they have received from Chandrashekhar.
Actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged multi-crore extortion racket operated by conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, have confessed to receiving gifts worth crores from the accused, the probe agency has said in its chargesheet. Chandrashekhar's wife, it is learnt, also played a major role as the conman splurged gifts - from an iPhone to BMW car - on the two actors.
The chargesheet, filed by the agency early this month in a Delhi court, named Chandrashekhar, his wife Leena Maria Paul and six others in it. The questioning of both the actors is significant as the agency investigates the money trail.
