'I don't regret anything'
The Sri Lankan origin actor says that she has learnt a lot through her journey in the film industry since 2009
New Delhi: Jacqueline Fernandez credits her success and failure for keeping her balanced and calm. The actor says she doesn't regret any of her decisions.
"The journey (in Bollywood) has been very rewarding, I have been blessed with opportunities to deliver my best and work with some of the biggest names and films," Jacqueline said.
"I look back and feel satiated to the balance of both successes and failures because both have taught me to be balanced and calm. Whatever I am today is a result of all the choices I made through the journey so I do not regret anything," added the actor of Sri Lankan origin.
After winning the 'Miss Sri Lanka' beauty pageant in 2006, she made her debut in the Indian film industry with 2009 film Aladin opposite actor Riteish Deshmukh. The film turned out to be a dud at the box office, but Jacqueline got noticed and went on to do films like Housefull 2, Murder 2, Kick, Brothers, Dishoom and Judwaa 2.
She says she has learnt a lot through the journey.
"Meeting new people and coming across new experiences have given me several lessons which have been fruitful in not just dealing with the challenges in the industry but also the way of life. The love and support of the audience is my biggest asset that I have earned in my professional career," added the actor, who launched Skechers D'Lites range in Mumbai earlier this week. Asked about what she wants to try next, Jacqueline, who skipped an skipped query on the impact of #MeToo movement in Bollywood, says she loves to be surprised.
"So even I am looking forward to the next challenge," she added. On the film front, she will soon be seen with actor Sushant Singh Rajput in Drive, scheduled to release on June 28.
The Dharma Productions' project was earlier locked for release on March 2, 2018. Then it was announced that Drive, which is said to be a heist film, will race to cinema halls on September 7.
