He said, "I have been closely following the news of the alleged Rs 200-crore money laundering scam involving several high-profile personalities, including actor Jacqueline Fernandez. It came as a surprise to me when I heard that the court has allowed her to travel abroad despite being an accused in the case."

Pankit added he respects the court discussion but still has reservations on 'Kick' actress environment.

He continued, "While I don't want to question the court's decision, I do have certain reservations about Jacqueline's involvement in the case and her sudden need to travel abroad. The fact that she is a popular actor and a celebrity does not absolve her of her alleged involvement in the scam. As someone who has established a reputation in the industry and is looked up to by thousands of fans, I believe the least she could do is cooperate with the authorities investigating the case and help them get to the bottom of the matter."

"It is not my intention to pass a judgement on Jacqueline or anyone else who has been named in the case. However, it is concerning to see how easily celebrities and high-profile individuals are allowed to go scot-free despite being accused of serious offenses. While the court has its own reasons for granting her permission to travel abroad, it is important that we do not get swayed by the glamour and fame attached to such individuals and demand that justice is served irrespective of their social status," he added.

Pankit, best known for featuring in shows like ‘Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant’, ‘Dill Mill Gayye’ among others, is waiting for the verdict of the case.

He concluded by sharing, "I hope that Jacqueline's trip abroad does not hinder the ongoing investigation and that she comes back to assist the authorities in uncovering the truth behind the alleged money laundering scam. I also hope that she uses her position of influence and power to set a positive example and uphold the values of honesty and integrity that we all hold."
