Convicted conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, currently incarcerated in Mandoli Jail, New Delhi, has once again made headlines by claiming to have gifted Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez a mansion in Beverly Hills for Christmas. This extravagant claim comes in the form of a letter addressed to Fernandez, expressing his love and reminiscing about their "special moments".
In the letter, Chandrasekhar wishes Fernandez a Merry Christmas, stating, "Wish you a Merry Christmas Baby, this is that festival which always reminds me of only the special moments and thoughtful experiences with you and the crazy love I have for you, which is always truly memorable". He then reveals the alleged gift, saying, "Baby, on this gracious, glorious day, I present to you, 'The Love Nest', your new, our new home in Beverly Hills". He further adds that it is the same house which he made for her, which she thought would not be completed. He expresses his pride in completing the house and gifting it to her on Christmas Day.
Chandrasekhar describes the mansion as being "bigger and better" than initially planned, boasting about a private, 19-hole golf course surrounding the property. In a somewhat grandiose comparison, he suggests that their "Love Nest" would even make Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago envious. He also claims to be working on fulfilling another of Fernandez's dreams: owning an IPL team, stating he has placed bids for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
This is not the first time Chandrasekhar has showered Fernandez with gifts and declarations of love. He has previously sent her letters and gifts on occasions like Holi, Easter, and his own birthday. However, Fernandez has objected to these communications and has filed a petition before a Delhi court in this regard.
Chandrasekhar and Fernandez's relationship has been under scrutiny since investigations into a high-profile financial fraud and money laundering case began. Chandrasekhar is accused of running multi-crore extortion schemes from inside jail, targeting high-profile individuals through impersonation and influence. Fernandez has been named as a co-accused in the money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), who allege that she continued to receive expensive gifts from Chandrasekhar, worth approximately Rs 7 crore, despite knowing about his criminal activities. These gifts allegedly included jewelry, clothes, vehicles and other luxury items.
Fernandez has denied the charges, claiming she was unaware of Chandrasekhar's criminal background. She has stated that she had no knowledge of his criminal history when she received the gifts and has cooperated with authorities throughout the investigation. The ED continues to investigate the money trail and the source of funds used by Chandrasekhar to purchase these gifts.
