Jacqueline Fernandez has spoken about how she handles being in the “spotlight for reasons unrelated to [her] work” and which aren’t “positive in nature.” In a conversation with Harpers Bazaar, Jacqueline said, “Positives and negatives are always going to be there. But what has helped me the most is giving up this constant desire and need to be loved and realising that this is truly the last illusion we all have and that we all face. This is what has kept me free, humble, and calm. I believe in God, I always have. It’s an extremely strong force in my life. And because of that, I never really fear anything. I meditate often. Now I’m able to distinguish between right and wrong people, and I keep my family and good people close. I hold on to my ability to be empathetic as my superpower, and not a weakness.”
Last month, the Enforcement Directorate [ED] summoned Jacqueline to appear for questioning in the ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. She was earlier grilled multiple times by the ED officials in the case on account of her relations with Sukesh, who have been accused of blackmailing a number of individuals and allegedly using the funds to continue an extravagant lifestyle.
The actress will next be seen in Welcome to the Jungle. The film, which is helmed by Ahmed Khan, will hit the silver screen on December 20, 2024.
