Career

Even though her next two ventures (Housefull 2 and Race 2) were successful, she had little to do in the films. Her first major success came with Kick in 2014, where she was praised for her acting.

In 2015 she appeared in 3 films, but all were unsuccessful. In 2016, she saw another two failures but had some consolation with the successful Dishoom. Since 2015, Jacqueline has been starring in multiple top production projects. She has also formed a reputation of appearing in item numbers.
