Jacqueline Fernandez opened up about the struggles she faced when she entered the film industry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When Sri Lankan beauty queen Jacqueline Fernandez<\/a> decided to pursue a career in Bollywood, she got all kinds of advice on how to fit in. In an interview<\/a> with Pinkvilla, she revealed that a lot of people felt that her name was very Western\u201d and suggested that she change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was told, \u2018Do a nose job\u2019, \u2018Change your name\u2019. So many people! In that moment, I thought, \u2018Is it really needed?\u2019 I decided to just be me. I was quite calm and cool and collected about it, and then things worked out for me,\u201d the actor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added, I was told, \u2018Change your name to Muskaan.\u2019 I remember these suggestions. My agency also thought, \u2018Should we change her name? Jacqueline Fernandez is very Western. How do we crack the industry?\u2019 Then they were like, \u2018Maybe we should just go with her name and just see where that goes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacqueline was given all kinds of weird\u201d advice, like being asked to make her eyebrows darker, but she stuck to her guns. She also revealed that she got a lot of grief for her accent, but has now made peace with the fact that it is a limitation for her and continues to work hard every day to improve her Hindi diction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just this, Jacqueline was mocked for trying hard\u201d to be Indian. She said, I felt really offended by this. I came for a Diwali party once in a really traditional outfit. Three of my actor friends were like, \u2018Why are you wearing a saree? Why are you trying so hard? You are not Indian!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacqueline made her Bollywood debut with Sujoy Ghosh\u2019s Aladin in 2009. The actor, who was last seen in the Netflix film Drive alongside Sushant Singh Rajput, has another Netflix project \u2013 Mrs Serial Killer \u2013 in her kitty. Directed by Shirish Kunder, the film will see her as a doting wife who will go to any lengths to prove the innocence of her husband, who has been framed for serial killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacqueline\u2019s next Bollywood release is the action thriller Attack<\/a>. Directed by Lakshya Raj Anand, the film revolves around a rescue operation done by an elite commando team, and also stars John Abraham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
