Deepika, Sonakshi 'married' to UP villagers, have ration card too!

FARRUKHABAD, UTTAR PRADESH: If records at a fair price shop here are to be believed, Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez and Rani Mukherjee receive subsidised food grains distributed through ration cards.

A distributor at Sahabganj village in Qayamganj tehsil has names of these actresses on the list of beneficiaries and ration is being taken on these names for quite a long time.

The matter came to light when villagers filed a complaint against the distributor and a probe was ordered, officials said.

As per the list, Jacqueline's 'husband' is a Sadhu Lal and Deepika is 'married' to a Rakesh Chand. Similarly, Rani Mukherjee's 'husband' is Ram Swaroop, while Sonakshi is shown as 'married' to a Ramesh Chand.

Deepika is placed under 'general' category and others are shown as OBC members.
