Early life and pageantry

Fernandez was born on 11 August 1985, into a mixed ethnic family, in which her father is a Sri Lankan of Indian descent and her mother is of Canadian and Malaysian ancestry. Although, she was born and raised in Bahrain, she said she originally belong to Sri Lanka. Prior to become a TV reporter, she started hosting TV shows in Bahrain, when she was barely fourteen year old. After graduated in Mass Communication from Australia, she moved to Sri Lanka, where she relocated at her grandparent place, and joined a Television station . From then, she began reporting and investigating mainly on political turmoil. According to an article published in Lanka Journal, she had aspired to become an actress, when she was only eight year old. Although, she was a TV reporter, she accepted offers to join the modeling industry, which came as a result of her pageant entrance and for which she was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe 2006, and represented her state at Miss Universe 2006 held in Los Angeles where she was unplaced. In 2007, Fernandez appeared on her first commercial in a Music video of Sri Lankan singing sensation Bathiya and Santhush, for which she got recognition. From there, she began receiving offers to go to India for more modelling assignments.

Career

2009-10: Early film career

Fernandez made her acting debut in the 2009 Bollywood fantasy movie Aladin opposite Ritesh Deshmukh. She played a character inspired by the Disney Princess character of Jasmine. For her performance, Fernandez received mixed reviews, with Anupama Chopra of NDTV calling her a "plastic debutant". However, Taran Adarsh of BollywoodHungama complimented her more on her looks, rather than her performance by saying, "Jacqueline Fernandez gets no scope, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless. In year 2010, she was seen once again appearing alongside Ritesh Deshmukh in the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She received mainly negative reviews for her performance. Rediff criticized her by writing," She gamely makes a fool of herself whilst aping the actions of movie stars, ranging from Sridevi's Naagin dance, Mithun Chakravarthy's Disco Dancer moves to Big B's violent headshake in Hum. Her Tara could be a keeper if only Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wasn't so intent on turning her into a love-struck Barbie. That year, she made a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in the song 'Dhanno' which was a big success, and giving her positive recognition.

2011-present: Breakthrough

In 2011, Fernandez appeared in her third film, Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2 which went on to become a huge blockbuster. Fernandez played the role of Priya, a lonely model who is in a confused relationship with Arjun Bhagwat, played by Emraan Hashmi. Fernandez grabbed a lot of attention for the boldness and sex appeal she displayed in the movie, with her performance receiving decent reviews. OneIndia Entertainment said, "Jacqueline being bold and sexy grabs a lot of eyeballs for the oomph factor. Her performance is decent." Taran Adarsh of BollywoodHungama said, "Stepping into Mallika's shoes in the sequel is Jacqueline. Like Mallika, she takes the boldness quotient to the next level with her sexy avatar. She should grab a lot of eyeballs for the oomph factor, while her performance is decent. In fact, she gets little scope to display histrionics, but she makes a sincere attempt to portray her character with care." Murder 2 launched Fernandez's career for the good, as she started getting offers from big production houses. Post Murder 2 success, Fernandez turned down many roles, such as Raaz 3, to avoid being type cast as a sex symbol. She was also considered for Bindu's iconic 'Mona Darling' act in the remake of Zanjeer but she walked out from the project for the same reasons. She also turned down a role in Krrish 3, but that was due to date conflicts.

In 2012, Fernandez appeared in Housefull 2 with an ensemble cast which included Akshay Kumar, Asin and Rishi Kapoor. It became one of the top grossing productions of India that year and grossed ₹186 crore (US$22 million) worldwide. Also, Fernandez received positive reviews for her performance. Gaurav Malani of Times Of India stated, "So Jacqueline Fernandez wins the race with her gorgeous looks..." Mrigank Dhaniwala of KoiMoi said, "Of all the girls, Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez get the meatiest of roles and they do not disappoint." Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave a mixed review by saying, "Amongst the female leads, Asin has the meatiest role and gives a decent account of herself. Jacqueline, Shazahn and Zarine act more as eye candy. They are the typical sultry and enticing selves; each one is befitting in her own space."

Fernandez's first release of 2013 was Race 2 alongside Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Ameesha Patel and John Abraham.She described her character as the "most negative character" she has played. Although the film was described as the "cinematic equivalent of a trashy novel" by most critics, she received mostly positive reviews for her performance. Lisa Tsering, of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez, a leggy beauty with a talent for action who now counts seven Indian films under her belt, is another plus. Welcome to Bollywood, Miss Fernandez". Joginder Tuteja of Indicine mentioned, "Jacqueline has a bigger part to play and she does it well while looking her best." Komal Nahta commented, "Jacqueline Fernandez is also sexy and stylish."Indiaglitz stated, "Deepika Padukone looks delicious and does a fabulous job so is Jacqueline Fernandez who shows improvement as an actor." Despite this, the film opened to a high positive response at the box office, and emerged as a major financial success, collecting ₹162 crore (US$19 million) worldwide.

Fernandez appeared in an item number in Prabhu Deva's Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya which released in July. She was appreciated for the song. Taran Adarsh commented," Jacqueline Fernandez and Prabhu Dheva's song is high on energy." In 2013, Fernandez has begun filming for Sajid Nadiawala's action film Kick opposite Salman Khan, and pre-production work for Vicky Singh's romantic-action film Roy opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Fernandez is also slated to appear in Chandran Rutnam's crime-thriller According to Mathew and approached to act in Prince of Malacca.
