'The hardest thing about being an actress is FAME,' says Jacqueline Fernandez

Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez sat down for an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia where she discussed her journey Bollywood Industry and opened up how she handles public scrutiny around her personal life. For the last couple of years, Jacqueline has been in the limelight due to her alleged affair with a conman, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who has been behind bars for a long time now.

For the unversed, the actress has often been called by the legal authorities for interrogation related to his case. Moreover, Sukesh frequently writes open letters addressing the actress, which go viral.

Jacqueline shared that she knew there was always a bright and a negative side to being an actress. However, she has given up the need to be constantly loved by the audience, which has helped her stay calm and humble in trying situations.

In her words: "Positives and negatives are always going to be there...But what has helped me the most is giving up this constant desire and need to be loved and realising that this is truly the last illusion we all have and that we all face. This is what has kept me free, humble, and calm. I believe in God, I always have. It's an extremely strong force in my life. And because of that, I never really fear anything. I meditate often. Now I'm able to distinguish between right and wrong people, and I keep my family and good people close."

While revealing the magical way to deal with trolls targeting her personal life, Jacqueline said: "Despite the fame or whatever it is, you need to be used to the trolling and develop a thicker skin. But no one likes to hear horrible things about themselves, or, you know, unfair things, rumours, gossip, you know, you just have to bear with that. Because I would say the hardest thing about being an actor is fame. You will never have your privacy intact."
