Help.

Do both mean almost the same?

Alex: Do you know Namrata had been barred from acting in Rajesh Hamal's movie?
Jack: Oh really! I didn't know that.

OR,

Jack didn't know that Namrata had been barred from acting in Rajesh Hamal's movie.

Yes, they mean almost the same. In the first example, we know additionally that Alex knew before Jack did.
