Jacqueline Fernandez is a Sri Lankan actress who appears in Bollywood films. Fernandez is a former model and beauty queen who won Miss Sri Lanka Universe in 2006. She has received an International Indian Film Academy Award and Stardust Award for Best Female Debut in 2010, for her role in Aladin.
Early life
Fernandez was born to a Sri Lankan father, who owned an event event management company, and a Malaysian mother. At the age of three her family, including her three siblings moved to Bahrain, where she spent most of her childhood. She moved to Australia for her college degree, and then moved back to Sri Lanka where she worked in modelling, and television reporting and hosting. In March 2006, Fernandez was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe 2006 and subsequently represented Sri Lanka at Miss Universe 2006 where she did not place. From there she began receiving offers to go to India for more modelling, and she got selected for a Bollywood film.
Career
Career beginnings (2006–10)
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. 2010 saw her once again appearing alongside Ritesh Deshmukh in the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She also made a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in the song 'Dhanno' which was a big success. Fernandez almost gave up acting during this time because good roles were not coming to her.
Breakthrough & Success (2011–Present)
In 2011, Fernandez appeared in her third film, Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2, which went on to become her first box office success, receiving blockbuster status. 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. 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, to avoid being type cast as a sex symbol.
In 2012 Fernandez signed two multi-starrer films Housefull 2 and Race 2, which will feature her in full-fledged roles, and she will do an item number for Total Dhamaal. Jacqueline will mark her debut in a Sri Lankan movie, titled Pravegaya which is to be released in late 2012. She is expected to make her international debut in the British-Canadian joint production, Definition of Fear.
