She may seem to be all about mascara and manicures. But the exotic Jacqueline Fernandez, is in fact, a tough-as-nails beauty. No wonder, the girl from Sri Lanka left her languid shoreline to make a fortune on the island of skyscrapers. And she did it all alone. The heartbreaks, the pitfalls, the mistakes were all hers. And they sculpted her. Glamour she had in dollops. But the grunge lent gravitas to her character. Today, she’s not only a scorcher on the red carpet but also the pride of big-ticket releases. Kick may have kickstarted her rise to fame. But the recent Brothers has further established her kinship with showbiz. Right now, mixing work with pleasure, Jacqueline has agreed for an interview in a swish beauty boutique as she spruces up for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 3. As her princess-like feet sink in the foam, she spills the beans on her survival tricks, link-ups and how she means ‘business’ at the end of the day…
How often do you visit a beauty salon?
(Laughs) Once or twice a day … hey just joking! We have hectic schedules, so it’s not possible to find time easily. But today I spent four hours here because I won’t be able to do so for the next two months. I’m getting ready for the shoot of Housefull 3.
How else are you preparing for Housefull 3?
Housefull 3, being a comedy, is all about timing. It’s about glamour as well. We worked with our stylist Tanya Ghavri extensively to get the look right. We do have the script with us. But directors Sajid-Farhad will improvise a lot on the set. I was part of Housefull 2 and I know everything changes on the set. Because we actors come together and make things funnier. So right now, it’s only about the look.
Do you find comedy a difficult genre?
