How SRK impressed Jacqueline’s mother big time

Jacqueline Fernandez’s next is ‘A Gentleman’ with Sidharth Malhotra. Sid is quite a gentleman and we have no two opinions about it. However, quiz the actress about her favourite gentleman in Bollywood, and she has two of our favourite A-listers to name!

Jacqueline went on to narrate one event when her mother had a pleasant encounter with none other than Shah Rukh Khan. “I remember my mom and I were attending a party, where we met Shah Rukh. As soon as I introduced my mom to him, he took her hands in his, kissed them and touched them to his eyes. He took all her blessings. My mom was so impressed with his courteous gesture. Whenever we discuss this with anyone, she happily praises this gesture to them. He wins the hearts of young and old alike by extending his respect to all. It is a gentleman’s quality,” she smiles, and we can see a fan girl! (Also Read: Sizzling dance numbers of Jacqueline Fernandez that are too hot to handle)

Although the two have never worked together, she finds him a ‘proper gentleman’ who knows how to give due respect to women.

Apart from him, she has great things to say about her ‘Race 2’ co-star Jacqueline Fernandez as well! “Saif is one star who is a thorough gentleman. If a lady is accompanying him, he will open the door of the car, and until she’s seated comfortably, he will not move to his seat. I think Saif has other qualities which make him a very meticulous person. Every woman likes these qualities in men,” she gushes.

So good to hear that!

‘A Gentleman’ features Jacqueline as Chandralekha, a fire band with her desires of living life to the fullest. It also has Sidharth Malhotra playing a double role for the first time. The film is set to hit theatres on 25th August.
