Mumbai, Dec 4 (UNI) Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri finds herself in the headlines for a few days for a wrong reason, with her sister Aliya Fakhri being arrested for the alleged murder of her ex-boyfriend and his female companion in Queens, New York.



While Nargis has not commented on the situation, she recently took to her Instagram to share a story about the film "Housefull 5" where she has acted alongside Sonam Bajwa and Jacqueliene Fernandez. However, later the actor deleted the post which she had captioned "We are coming for you."

The 5th installment of the franchisee "Housefull" directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is slated to hit the cinemas on June 6, 2025. The film marks the return of Bollywood's favourite comic ensemble, featuring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan and other popular actors.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing legal battle, Nargis Fakhri’s sister Aliya Fakhri was apprehended for the alleged murder of her ex-boyfriend Edward Jacobs and his female friend Anastasia Ettienne in Queens, New York. The 43-year-old has been accused of starting a fire in a two-storey garage, which led to the death of the two due to smoke inhalation and thermal injuries, according to a report by the New York Daily News.

News reports indicate that Aliya was jealous of the growing bond between her ex-boyfriend and his female friend. Hence, in a bout of jealousy, she allegedly set the house on fire and left the two people to die.

In a statement, District Attorney Melinda Katz said that the defendant ‘maliciously’ ended the lives of two people by setting a fire that trapped a man and woman in a raging inferno. UNI XC SSP
