People forget celebrities are also human beings: Jacqueline

From Shubha Dubey Mumbai, Aug 28 (PTI) Scrutiny is the part and parcel ofbeing famous but actress Jacqueline Fernandez says thingsbecome ridiculous at times as people sometimes forget that evencelebrities are humans. The 31-year-old "Dishoom" actress said the stars areexpected to be proper always, which is a bit too much as theycan also have bad days. "As a celebrity, a lot is expected from you. It can evenbe a little ridiculous. People at times don’t realize that evenwe are human beings. Like everyone has their bad days we toohave, but the projection of things is so different that you seeit differently," Jacqueline told PTI. The actress, who came from Sri Lanka to find success inBollywood, said during her initial days in the industry, thejudgments people passed on her would disturb her. But she has now learnt the art of ignoring it and has comeout stronger. "If you allow the scrutiny to take a toll on you, it caneven affect the actor within you. Initially, I had no idea whatfame, acting and this film industry was. I used to get swayedby what everyone was saying. "But, then you come to a point where you are like ‘Whysomebody else should determine who I am?’ Now I don’t evennotice people judging me. I used to feel the pressure before,now I don’t get into it at all." Jacqueline feels dealing with things both inside andoutside of the film industry has changed her a lot as a personand she is happy with the way her life has shaped up. "There is a huge change in me now. When people finallyunderstand that they don’t need to fit in all the time and theycan be themselves, it shows externally as well. There arethings that internally happen but they show a switch in yourattitude as well. "I am pretty happy with my life. I am happy with the way Iam looking and the work I am doing. There is inner peace whichI feel right now," she said. With "A Flying Jatt" being her last release of the year,the actress is now busy filming Raj and DK’s untitled projectwith Sidharth Malhotra. She is also doing a Dharma project which stars SushantSingh Rajput as the male lead. The actress turned showstopper for designer Ashsih NSoni’s new collection at the ongoing Lakme Fashion WeekWinter/Festive 2016. PTI SHDBK
