MUMBAI: Jacqueline Fernandez was in news lately for her closeness with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar whose name has surfaced in Rs 200 crore money-laundering case. Her intimate pictures with the conman leaked online creating a flutter on social media. In a new video, Jacqueline opens up about the struggles she faced in her younger.
Jacqueline shared that she used to punish herself for eating when she was in her 20s. When Shilpa Shetty asked if Jacqueline changes her food habits when under stress, she said, "In my 20s I did go through quite a lot of eating issues. A lot. It happened because of my pageant days, I did not realise then but to be appearing on an international platform at the age of 19 (had its own pressures). That is when the pressure really got to me, I did not know how to handle it. Food became the enemy. That then continued in my 20s and continued (when I became an actor) being in front of the camera."
She added, "Like (I would worry about) how I am going to look in front of the camera. It was like you would punish yourself for eating. But, I was blessed that I was able to overcome it. Slowly, it took time. There would be times when I would be go for months and would be okay and then something would happen, and I would go back into the habit. I was quite horrible actually, but it was definitely something that made me stronger and much more aware of food.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline has started promoting her upcoming film Bachhchan Paandey, which stars Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, and Arshad Warsi and will be released in theatres on March 18. Jacqueline will also be seen in Ram Setu, Kick 2, Cirkus, and Attack, as well as a Hollywood film and a few more unannounced projects, in addition to Bachchhan Paandey.
