Born in a lower-middle-class family in Karnataka's Bengaluru, Sukesh had always dreamed of becoming a millionaire. He studied until Class 12 and chose not to study any further. He started working in the real estate sector. He also used to organise car races as he was passionate about cars.
He was just 17, when he was still a minor, when he posed as a high-ranking bureaucrat and duped over 100 people on the pretext of getting their work done by the Bangalore Development Authority. He was arrested for the first time in 2007.

Sukesh has 30 cases lodged against him. He has been arrested multiple times and was out on bail when he got into a relationship with Jacqueline Fernandez. In his past cases, he has been accused of duping Aditi Singh of Rs 200 crores. He took the money from her on the pretext of getting her husband--former Ranbaxy promoter Shivinder Singh--out of jail. He posed as a senior officer of the Law Ministry to her. He once told her that Home Minister Amit Shah would hear their conversation and so she should behave politely with him. In another case, he has been accused of taking Rs 50 crores from former AIADMK TTV Dhinakaran to bribe Election Commission officials. Whenever he was out on bail, he would continue duping people.

Like thousands of people in the nation, Sukesh was a big fan of Bollywood and movies. In 2010, he came in contact with actress and model Leena Paulose, who was seen in a brief role in Madras Cafe. They soon started dating and living together. It is said that Leena knew of his wrongdoings and became his partner in crime. They got married in 2015.
Leena has also been arrested along with Sukesh in three cases. One of the cases included the Ponzi scheme they started in which over 450 investors deposited their money in his company, only to be looted later.
How Sukesh Chandrashekhar lured Jacqueline Fernandez
Jacqueline Fernandez admitted that she got these gifts from him: 5 luxurious watches, one massage chair, 20 pieces of expensive designer jewellery, two diamond earrings and a multi-colored diamond bracelet, 65 pairs of shoes, 47 pieces of clothing, three shoes from Louis Vuitton and Louboutin, four expensive Hermes bags, two outfits from Gucci, a Limited edition perfumes, four cats, a horse worth Rs 52 lakhs, a Mini Cooper that she returned to him, a Versace crockery set, and nine paintings.
Last year the ED revealed that Jacqueline got gifts worth Rs 5.7 crores from him.
She knew about his crimes and still wanted to marry him as she thought he was the man of her dreams.
The ED also said that she tempered the evidence, cooked up a story and deleted all the conversation and details about Sukesh from her phone, and asked her staff to do the same.
"Jacqueline Fernandez was well aware of the criminal antecedents of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and also the fact that Leena Maria Paul is his wife in February 2021. She consciously chose to overlook his criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him," says the chargesheet, as seen by India Today.
How did Sukesh Chandrashekhar and Jacqueline Fernandez's alleged relationship begin?
As per reports, it began in Feb 2021. At this point in time, Sukesh had been arrested multiple times and was out on bail. He would give her expensive gifts and soon entered into a relationship with her.
How Sukesh tried to lure Nora Fatehi
He apparently tried to gift her a BMW car, which was later gifted to her relative. He tried to coax her many times, but apparently, Nora realised that there was something wrong and stayed away from him.
In his recent statement, Sukesh stated that Nora wanted him to leave Jacquline and date him instead.
"Nora used to try calling me at least 10 times a day and if I don't answer the call she used to keep on calling me," Sukesh claimed.
"As I and Jacqueline were in a serious relationship, I started avoiding Nora, but she kept irritating me by calling and also, asking me to help bobby (Nora's relative) in setting up a music production company which I did. She also kept sending me multiple pictures of Hermes bags and jewellery that she wanted, which I obliged by giving her, which she was using till date, ask her to produce one bill of Hermes bags that she has, she can never produce as she does not have, as the bags are worth more than Rs 2 crores."
He also stated that actresses like Nikki Tamboli and Chahat Khanna were extremely professional with him and only supposed to working work under his banner LS films.

"I had no romantic association as news alleged by them, as their statement before the Enforcement Directorate, nine months ago was completely different which can be seen by media to certain if I am lying. So this new statement given by them before EOW is only to save their skin and to grab publicity in the media, I have no fear to agree with the truth, but this new story is very funny after 9 months, I appeal to the media to verify the ED charge sheet statement and now new EOW charge sheet statement which will clearly show how these two Nikki and Chahath are lying."

Sukesh also stated that "I have to this very min maintained dignity and respect for all those women and I don't want to stop down to this cheap level of putting out all the chats, and screenshots in the open which would expose the truth in open, and which will assassinate their characters, but if this circus goes on then I have face to show, as they know, what all they have spoken or have had knowledge about."
