Jacqueline Fernandez as an outsider: Was asked to do a nose job, actors mocked my accent
Jacqueline Fernandez opens up on her struggles as an outsider, getting mocked for her accent, the bias nature of the society towards actors and much more. Watch the video now.
Jacqueline Fernandez is the fifth guest on Pinkvilla's Woman Up and she completely suits the title 'Imperfectly Perfect'. A beauty pageant winner from Sri Lanka, Jackie decided to try her luck in Bollywood and shifted base to Mumbai. But little did she know what she was getting into. Muddled into a world of underlying darkness below the glitzy showbiz, she soon faced the wrath of the industry. From being body-shamed to being made to feel different, she had it all. While some asked her to change her name, many asked her to get a nose job done. In a country that celebrates the eternal proverb 'Atithi Devo Bhava', she found herself in the middle of judgment when she wasn't even given a house on rent. Why? Because she was a 'firang actress'. She also reveals that it's not just the people outside, but people from within the industry too ridiculed her for her accented Hindi and felt 'she was trying too hard' to fit in. All this and more in an explosive tell-all interview.
