Jacqueline Fernandez (born 11 August 1985) is a Sri Lankan actress, former model, and the winner of the Miss Sri Lanka Universe pageant of 2006. One of the most popular actresses in Bollywood, she is the recipient of an International Indian Film Academy Award. Alongside her acting career, Fernandez has participated in stage shows, and is active in humanitarian work.

Fernandez was born and raised in Bahrain into a multiracial family, where her ancestors belong from Canada, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. After graduating in mass communication from the University of Sydney and working as a television reporter in Sri Lanka, she joined the modeling industry. She was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe 2006, and represented her country at Miss Universe 2006.

While on a modelling assignment in India in 2009, Fernandez successfully auditioned for Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy drama Aladin, which marked her acting debut. For the film, she won an IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female. Fernandez had her breakthrough role with Mohit Suri's psychological thriller Murder 2 (2011), a major commercial success. This was followed by glamorous roles in the ensemble-comedy Housefull 2 (2012) and the action thriller Race 2 (2013)—both of which were major box-office successes. Her performance in the former garnered her an IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination. In 2014, Fernandez portrayed the leading lady in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick, which is one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time.

Early life and modeling career

Fernandez was born on 11 August 1985 in Bahrain and was nurtured in a multi-ethnic family, where her father, Elroy is a Sri Lankan and her mother, Kim is of Malaysian and Canadian ancestry. She is the youngest of four children with one elder sister and two elder brothers. According to Fernandez, before her birth, her mother was an air hostess, while her father was a musician after his marriage. Although, she was raised in Bahrain, she said she originally lived in Sri Lanka. Before becoming a television reporter, she hosted television shows in Bahrain at the age of fourteen. After receiving her early education from Bahrain, she pursued a degree in mass communication from the University of Sydney in Australia. Having "a passion for cultures and language", she also joined the Berlitz school of languages, where she learnt Spanish and improved her French and Arabic.

According to Fernandez, she had aspired to become an actress at a young age and had the "childhood fantasy of being a famous film actress in Hollywood." Although, she was a television reporter, she accepted offers in the modeling industry, which came as a result of her pageant entrance. In 2006, she was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe and represented her state at Miss Universe 2006 which was held in Los Angeles. In a 2015 interview with India-West, Fernandez described the modeling industry as "a good training ground" and said "It is a medium that is about shedding your inhibitions, knowing your body, confidence It definitely was a good starting point and platform". Fernandez first gained recognition with her appearance in a music video for the song "O Sathi" by Sri Lankan music duo Bathiya and Santhush.

Acting career

2009–13

In 2009, she traveled to India for a modeling assignment. She studied acting under the mentorship of theatre director Barry John, and successfully auditioned for Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy film Aladin (2009). Featuring as the love interest of Riteish Deshmukh's character, it marked her acting debut, and she played the Princess Jasmine character. For her performance, Fernandez received mixed reviews, with Anupama Chopra of NDTV calling her a "plastic debutant". Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama complimented her more on her looks, rather than her performance, remarking "Fernandez gets no scope, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless", while Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN felt that she "is easy on the eyes and appears confident but has precious little to do". The film emerged as a critical and commercial failure. For the film, Fernandez garnered an IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year - Female.

In 2010, Fernandez appeared opposite Deshmukh in the science fiction romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. Considering her role to be "cool", she was cast as a girl from Venus, who lands on Earth in search love. She received mainly negative reviews for her performance. Writing for Rediff.com, Sukanya Verma wrote "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. Critic Anupama Chopra also criticized her, calling her "a pin-prick on a balloon", while Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama found her "easy on the eyes". With mixed reviews, the film bombed at the box-office. Later that year, she made a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in the song "Dhanno".

In 2011, Fernandez appeared in her third film, Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2, which emerged as a major economic success. Fernandez played the role of Priya, a lonely model who is in a confused relationship with Arjun Bhagwat, played by Emraan Hashmi. Fernandez was praised for the her performance, and for the boldness and sex appeal she displayed in the film. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama praised her for "tak the boldness quotient to the next level with her sexy avatar" and concluded: "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." A review from the The Times of India stated that Fernandez was "tastefully tempting" but noted that her romance with Hashmi was "literally half-baked". Murder 2 marked a turning point in Fernandez's career, as she received offers from big production houses. She refused to be the part of films, such as Raaz 3, to avoid being typecast as a sex symbol.

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 ₹1.86 billion (US$22 million) worldwide. Fernandez received mostly negative reviews for her performance. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave a mixed review by labelling her an "eye candy" who was "befitting in her own space." NDTV criticized her acting, calling her a "blathering bimbo" who "find no pleasure in ". For her performance, Fernandez received a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 14th IIFA Awards.

Fernandez's first release of 2013 was Race 2, an action thriller, described as the "cinematic equivalent of a trashy novel" by critic Rajeev Masand. To prepare for the role of Omisha, a femme fatale, she learnt fencing and some acrobatics. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a box-office hit, with collections surpassing the ₹1 billion (US$12 million) mark in domestic ticket sales. Her performance in the film was met with generally positive reviews, with Lisa Tsering, of The Hollywood Reporter stating, "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". In a contradictory review carried by Firstpost, critic Rubina A Khan called her unnoticeable and criticized her wig and hair. Fernandez also appeared in an item number titled "Jaadu Ki Jhappi" for Prabhu Deva's Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya.

2014–present

In 2014, Fernandez appeared in Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut—the action film Kick, a remake of a 2009 Telugu film of same name. A film that "took her career to a new height", it featured her opposite Salman Khan, and saw her play Shaina, a psychiatric student. She dubbed in her own voice for the first time in Kick. On her performance, Sneha May Francis commented that she is "incredibly dazzling, and moves like a magic", while critic Mohar Basu found her chemistry with Khan "palpable". However, Raja Sen of Rediff.com was more critical of her dialogue delivery, calling it "unfortunate." The film received mixed reviews from critics, but with a worldwide revenue of over ₹3.75 billion (US$44 million), it became the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film. The film established Fernandez as one of the most popular actresses of Bollywood.

In 2015, Fernandez featured in Vicky Singh's Roy, a romantic thriller which critic Sarita A. Tanwar described as a "boring, exhausting and pretentious" film. Fernandez played dual roles in the film—Ayesha Aamir, a London-based filmmaker involved in a romantic relationship with a womanizing filmmaker (played by Arjun Rampal), and Tia Desai, a girl in love with a thief (played by Ranbir Kapoor). The film garnered mixed reviews as did Fernandez's performance. While India TV called it "her best act till date", critic Rajeev Masand felt that she "appears miscast in a part that required greater range." Roy failed to meet its box-office expectations, and emerged as a commercial failure. Later that year, she appeared in a guest appearance for the comedy-satire Bangistan playing Rosie, a role, which was criticized by critics.

Karan Malhotra's action drama Brothers was Fernandez's next release. Co-starring alongside Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra, Fernandez played Jenny, an undaunted mother struggling for her child, a role which she described as "challenging", "intense", and "difficult". The role marked a departure from the glamorous characters that she had a reputation for portraying. Film critics praised Fernandez's performance, though their response to the film was mixed. Dhriti Sharma of Zee News called her character "soft, timid and promising", and praised her for "convincingly pull off a pleasing character of a street fighter's wife". A review carried by Subhash K. Jha noted that she "in a limited role gives her finest emotive shot", while critic Raja Sen remarked " plays Kumar's long-sobbing wife who gets so deliriously happy on seeing a text message that it may well have contained news about a Kick sequel."

As of September 2015, Fernandez has several projects in development. She has completed shooting for Chandran Rutnam's crime-thriller According to Mathew, an English-Sri Lankan film, awaiting release. She has also completed filming for her Hollywood debut titled Definition of Fear. Fernandez has also signed on to appear in three other projects—Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom opposite Varun Dhawan and John Abraham as a part of three-film deal with Nadiadwala production, Remo D'Souza's Flying Jat opposite Tiger Shroff and in an Indo-Chinese film opposite with Abhay Deol, Amitabh Bachchan and Jackie Chan titled Gold Struck.

Personal life and other work

Fernandez shares a close bond with her family, and admits to missing the presence of them. She says, "I miss them so much everyday. You don't realise when you live away from home how difficult life can be At the same time, staying away from them has taught me to be more responsible. It has taught me so many things about myself, about priorities and time management." In 2008, Fernandez started dating Bahraini prince Hassan bin Rashid Al Khalifa who she met at a common's friend party, although they separated in 2011. While filming Housefull 2 in 2011, Fernandez began a romantic relationship with director Sajid Khan. The relationship attracted media coverage in India and they speculated on an impending wedding. However, the relationship ended in May 2013. In March 2012, Fernandez turned vegetarian for a 40-day period to observe Lent, a period from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday.

In addition to acting in films, Fernandez has supported charitable organisations and supports a number of causes. In 2011, on the behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (India), she sent a letter to the Mumbai Municipal Commissioner to stop horse-drawn carriage rides in Mumbai. She also sent a letter to the consulate general of the Philippines, William John T Perera in Colombo, to dispatch the transfer of an elephant from the inadequate Manila Zoo to a lush sanctuary in the early 2013. That year, she auctioned a breakfast in Mayfair, London, where she raised around £4000 for helping her friend's NGO involving children's primary education. She then went on to join hands with PETA in order to prevent cruelty to horses. In 2014, Fernandez was named "Woman Of The Year" by PETA (India) for advocating the protection of animals. The following year, she auctioned her outfits in an online portals for a charitable cause. Some of her outfits included the ones she wore in the song "Party On My Mind" (from Race 2) and "Hangover" (from Kick).

Fernandez has participated in several concert tours and televised award ceremonies. In 2013, she performed at the Temptations Reloaded in Auckland, Perth, and Sydney alongside, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Madhuri Dixit. She also performed at the live talent show "Got Talent World Stage Live" with Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Varun Dhawan the following year. In July 2014, Fernandez opened her restaurant Kaema Sutra in collaboration with Sri Lankan chef Dharshan Munidasa in Colombo. According to Fernandez the restaurant specializes in contemporary Sri Lankan cuisine.

In the media

In the early 2013, she became the ambassador for HTC One which she endorses in India. She was the face of Indian Bridal Fashion Week—IBFW of 2013. Later that year, she launched Gareth Pugh's designed Forevermark Diamonds in Mumbai, as the spokesperson and inaugurated Forever 21 store in Mumbai. That year, she also launched Gilette Shaving System with Arbaaz Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur. While analyzing Fernandez's career, India TV noted "Slowly and steadily Jacqueline Fernandez is climbing up the ladder of success Jacqueline is comfortably grasping every aspect of the work, which an actress is required to do and is accordingly giving results." On the contrary, Charu Thakur of India Today criticized her acting skills, but remarked " managed to find her feet in Bollywood now by banking on glamorous roles".

The UK magazine Eastern Eye ranked Fernandez twelfth in the listing of "Sexiest Asian Woman" in 2008 and 2011. Fernandez was ranked third on The Times of India's listing of the "Most Desirable Woman" in 2013 and 2014, after being ranked eighth, seventh and fourteenth, respectively, for the preceding three years. In 2013, Rediff.com placed her on their list of "Bollywood's Best Dressed Actresses". In 2014, she was ranked sixty second on Forbes India's Celebrity 100, a list based on income and popularity across all of India's celebrities. She has been the cover model for many Indian editions of magazines, including Vogue, FHM, Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, Elle, Verve, Harper's Bazaar, Women's Health, and L'Officiel among others.
