Jacqueline took to Instagram to share a note which reads, "Dear me, I deserve all good things, I'm powerful, I accept myself, it'll all be okay. I'm strong, I will achieve my goals and dreams, I can do it." 

Previously, Jacqueline faced harsh criticism after intimate photos of her with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar were leaked online. She had written a heartfelt letter pleading with people and the media not to share her private pictures on public platforms.

Later, the conman expressed his displeasure with the leaked private photos in a handwritten letter sent to the media via his lawyer, calling it a violation of privacy. He stated that he was in a romantic relationship with Jacqueline and had given her expensive gifts out of love. Jacqueline, on the other hand, had refused to acknowledge their relationship.
