Jacqueline Fernandez Personal Life/Wiki
Fernandez has a good relationship with her family and confesses that she misses their company. She declares: “Every day, I miss them so badly. When you move away from home, you don’t realise how difficult life may be […] Keeping my distance from them has, on the other hand, taught me to be more responsible. It has taught me a lot about myself, my priorities, and how to manage my time.”
Fernandez began dating Bahraini prince Hassan bin Rashid Al Khalifa in 2008, after meeting him at a mutual friend’s party; the couple split up in 2011. During the production of Housefull 2 in 2011, Fernandez began dating director Sajid Khan. In India, the couple’s connection drew a lot of attention, and there were rumours of a wedding on the way. The romance, however, terminated in May of 2013.

Acting Career
Fernandez went to India for a modelling assignment in 2009. She was cast in Sujoy Ghosh’s fantasy film Aladin (2009) after a good audition. She portrayed the love interest of Riteish Deshmukh’s character, Princess Jasmine, and CNN-Rajeev IBN’s Masand said she was “easy on the eyes and seems confident but has precious little to do.” She earned the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female despite the film’s critical and commercial disaster.
In the science-fiction love comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, Fernandez starred with Deshmukh in 2010. She plays a Venusian girl who comes to Earth in pursuit of love. The film, as well as Fernandez’s performance, garnered mixed reviews; Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote: “She enjoys making a fool of herself by imitating movie celebrity movements, like Sridevi’s Naagin dance, Mithun Chakravarthy’s Disco Dancer moves, and Big B’s violent headshake in Hum. If Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wasn’t so keen on making her into a love-struck Barbie, her Tara may be a keeper.” Anupama Chopra, another reviewer, slammed Fernandez, describing her as “a pin-prick on a balloon.” Later that year, she had a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan’s comedy Housefull’s song “Dhanno.”
