Jacqueline Fernandez is gearing up for the premiere of her upcoming film, Cirkus. The actress is once again in the news for her suspected role in the Sukesh Chandrasekhar money laundering case amid the promotions for the Rohit Shetty-directed film. For the uninitiated, Jacqueline had submitted a plea to a Delhi court asking for authorization to travel to Bahrain, where she was born, beginning on December 23.
Jacqueline arrived in Delhi's Patiala House Court on December 22 for the hearing on her case. The court stated at the hearing, “You can withdraw the application and let the question of charge first be decided. Otherwise I will pass a judicial order,” said the judge. The actress then informed the court that she would withdraw the petition "at this stage."
The Enforcement Directorate allegedly opposed her request during the brief proceedings. They argued that if she was permitted to travel overseas, she might not come back. “She is a foreign national. Though she has her career here, she can make her career somewhere else (also).”
In her counterargument, the actress stated that she had previously been granted permission to travel overseas while the investigation was proceeding before withdrawing the application. She said, “My next date, in this case, is Jan 6. I will return by Jan 5, even though that's not my turn to argue on the 6th. There's no lack of cooperation from me, never was, nor will”.
Jacqueline will next be seen in the movie Cirkus. It is set to release on December 23. Ranveer Singh, Varun Sharma, Pooja Hegde, Johnny Lever, and Sanjay Mishra are among the other actors.
