They had employed her through an agency and she came highly recommended as she had worked as a maid before with an Indian family in Russia with no complaints. But little did the celebrity couple know about this nanny's personal agenda on their London trip.
"Ever since she joined us she worked efficiently and patiently with Arhaan, his previous nanny had to leave the job because of health reasons, I always felt whether my son would ever be able to adjust to his new nanny, as his previous one was there since he was 4 months old.
But to our surprise Arhaan had taken well to her and she loved taking care of him as well. This new nanny's name is Jackin Fernandes and she hails from Belgaum in Karnataka, she's married has a 6 year old daughter.
Her husband Raymond Fernandes works as a welder cum fabricator in Dubai since last 10 years. Jackin, in the last one year has travelled with us to a number of places including Dubai and Singapore.
This time we took her along with us to London too, we began to trust her completely, only for her to shatter all our faith and trust in her in one second." Arbaaz recalls in his blog update.
He continues, "Just two days before Malaika was returning, Jackin was with the kids in a nearby park, she was also entrusted with the apartment keys. That day she left for the apartment on the pretext of getting a jacket for my son Arhaan, as it had got a bit nippy but dint return.
Malaika kept calling the phone she was given but there was no answer. When Malaika went to the apartment to check, there was nobody there, Jackin's phone was lying on the ground and she was nowhere in sight.
Malaika panicked. She noticed Jackin's suitcase was also not there; her passport had been kept with us safely in another bag under lock and key.
When she opened the bag she saw Jackin's passport missing, it soon became evident that Jackin had left. There were valuables and some money too lying in the bag but she stole nothing, all she wanted to do is get away and she had meticulously planned it.
My maid is not the first one to vanish in London, apparently even Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and recently Juhi Chawla also faced a similar situation, each of these maids left without a trace
. It obviously seems to be modus operandi of these people to use the opportunity to believe they have a better life in a foreign country, but at what risk.
Since Jackin was given a visa because we sponsored her visit, we had to inform the police of the happening. Unfortunately this illegal immigrant situation is rampant in London.
We have provided all the necessary details to the authorities, if she ever gets tracked down she will surely be deported, but I guess not before she has worked there long enough and made the money she desired. She was a good worker and took great care of Arhaan as long as she was there."
"Though Malaika and me are upset with what happened we still wish her well and hope she's safe and happy where ever she is." Arbaaz concludes.
