TIL Desk Bollywood/ Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez doesn’t agree she has “arrived” in Bollywood. She says there is still long way to go for her to achieve something substantial in the Hindi film industry. A former beauty queen in Sri Lanka, Jacqueline forayed into Bollywood with Aladin and went on to do some multi-starrer films like Kick, Roy, Housefull and Dishoom. She also starred in the recently released A Flying Jatt.
Asked if she feels like going back to her country and doing something for the people there, Jacqueline said: “I have done quite a bit in Sri Lanka. I have worked in Sri Lankan movies and we did something with Miss Sri Lanka pageant as well in terms of mentoring and judging. “I think right now in order to do stuff like that (giving back to the people), I want to do establish myself enough first.
“I still feel I have a lot more to do and achieve. Once I am able to do that, I will be able to focus my attention on things like reaching out, helping and giving back to people. It really needs to come at the point when you feel you have enough to give back. Right now I feel I still have to do lot more.” She says there is “still a bit more to go” before she arrives in Bollywood. In the meantime, she is also dabbling with the small screen space. Jacqueline is seen as one of the judges in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 9.
