Jacqueline Fernandez: Salman Khan convinced me to embrace motherhood onscreen

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is the reason behind the gorgeous Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez embracing motherhood onscreen. The beauty will be seen portraying the role of a mother in the upcoming Akshay Kumar film ‘Brothers’. Jacqueline is essaying the role of Jenny Fernandes, wife of David Fernandes (Akshay Kumar)in the action family drama.

Jacqueline who was initially hesitant to play a mother in the Karan Johar film, says she was convinced by Salman Khan to say ‘yes’ to the role that was being offered by Karan Johar

Jacqueline Fernandez said, “I discussed it with Salman and he convinced me to say yes. He told me it would benefit me and that here was a chance for me to prove myself through performance and I should not worry about the glamour and style prove myself through performance and I should not worry about the glamour and styling taking it away. I thought if I could pull this off, it would be fantastic for me and my credentials as an actor. I pretty much owe it to Karan and Salman for believing that I could carry off the role.”

Slated to release on 14 August, ‘Brothers’ stars Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra Jackie Shroff and Jacqueline Fernandez in pivotal roles.
