Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez who was doing fairly well for herself in Bollywood, suddenly finds her career hitting a major roadblock. Her serious run-in with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has now attached Rs 7.27 crore worth of her assets in the extortion case against conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, now threatens to destroy her Bollywood career.
Ever since Jacqueline’s troubles with the ED erupted, filmmakers have been playing the wait-and-watch game with her career. Producers were fairly confident that her name would eventually be cleared, hence her roles in her most recent releases Bachchhan Pandey (with Akshay Kumar) and Attack (with John Abraham) survived the scissors.
Curiously, Jacqueline played a similar role in both Bachchhan Paandey and Attack of the hero’s sweetheart who gets murdered mid-way. The superstitious film industry now attributes the massive debacle of both films to Fernandez’s tarnished image.
