Controversies that Even Heroines Can't Escape

Controversies that Even Heroines Can't Escape

Once upon a time, financial crimes, scams, and controversies were predominantly associated with actors and heroes. However, these controversies have now started catching up with heroines as well. Actresses like Tamannaah, Kajal, and Jacqueline Fernandez have recently found themselves embroiled in financial scandals.

Police in Puducherry have issued notices to heroines Tamannaah and Kajal. Both actresses are set to face questioning in connection with a financial scam under the guise of cryptocurrency. In 2022, Tamannaah attended an event in Coimbatore where this company was launched, followed by another event in Mahabalipuram where Kajal made an appearance.

By using these actresses as brand ambassadors, Nitish Jain and Aravind Kumar managed to collect money. They allegedly collected around Rs 2.4 crore from 10 people, deceiving them. A retired government official lodged a complaint, and the police have now arrested these individuals. Tamannaah and Kajal are also set to face further investigation.

When it comes to financial crimes, the name Jacqueline Fernandez immediately comes to mind. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has accused her of receiving significant benefits from financial criminal Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Recently, it was revealed that Sukesh gifted Jacqueline a private jet for Valentine's Day. Jacqueline has been regularly appearing for ED questioning and has found herself deeply involved in this case.

Along with Jacqueline, another actress, Nora Fatehi, is also facing intense scrutiny. Nora has become a key witness in the Rs 215 crore scam involving Sukesh. She appeared before the Patiala House Court in Delhi and provided her statement in connection with the case.

Although Jacqueline's situation is more intense, other actresses such as Rakul Preet Singh, Shraddha Kapoor, and Nora Fatehi have also found themselves trapped in financial crimes and controversies. Several heroines got caught up in the Mahadev betting app scandal that rocked the nation. Among them was Shraddha Kapoor, who was recently issued a notice by the ED for questioning in connection with this case. Tamannaah, Huma Qureshi, and Heena Khan are also under investigation in relation to this matter.

Additionally, Rakul Preet Singh has been questioned in connection with money laundering related to the Tollywood drug case. The ED has issued her notices twice in the past, and the investigation from four years ago continues.

Along with these, Malayalam actress Dhanya Mary Varghese, Bollywood actresses Gehana Vasisth and Shilpa Shetty, and others have also been entangled in various financial controversies.
