Bahrain-born Jacqueline Fernandez has managed to make her mark in the Bollywood industry over the years. Kickstarting her film career with Aladin in 2009—followed by her first commercial success, psychological thriller Murder 2 (2011)—the actor has garnered a massive fan following not only because of her talent but also her swoon-worthy appearance.
Having played the lead role in blockbuster films such as Race 2, Kick, Housefull 3, Judwaa 2, and Radhe, the celebrity also enjoys a hefty following on social media platforms such as Instagram—a whopping 53.8 million! Recently, she made the headlines when rumours about her moving in with her boyfriend were doing the rounds on the internet. As per a report on ETimes, the apparent boyfriend doesn't hail from the industry and is an entrepreneur who resides down South. Reportedly, the couple has been house hunting and have narrowed down on a sea-facing bungalow in Juhu, Mumbai. In fact, Fernandez has zeroed in on an interior designer as well.
A source said, "They seem extremely serious about their relationship. While he has been working on the modalities of the property, Jacqueline and he were on constant video calls discussing their home. Her beau is likely to move base, which includes his workspace, to Mumbai very soon."
While we all know the too-hot-to-handle Jacqueline Fernandez fairly well, let's get to know a little bit about the actor from her younger days.
Jacqueline Fernandez was born in Manama, Bahrain and was raised in a multi-ethnic family. Her father, Elroy Fernandez, is a Sri Lankan Burgher while her mother, Kim, is of Malaysian and Canadian descent. Her maternal grandfather is Canadian and her paternal great-grandparents were from Goa, India. She happens to be the youngest of four children with one elder sister and two elder brothers.
In 2006, Jacqueline was crowned the winner of the Miss Universe Sri Lanka pageant and represented Sri Lanka at the world Miss Universe 2006 pageant held in Los Angeles. While she started out as a television reporter, she began accepting offers in the modeling industry which came as a result of her pageant success. It was when Fernandez traveled to India for a modeling assignment in 2009, that she successfully auditioned for Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy film Aladin.
On the work front, Jacqueline Fernandez will soon be seen in Pawan Kripalani's horror-comedy film, Bhoot Police, alongside Saif Ali Khan, Yami Gautam, and Arjun Kapoor. Her upcoming projects also include Bachchan Pandey, Attack, Cirkus, and Vikrant Rona.
