Food had become an enemy for Jacqueline

Then a lot of pressure came on me, and I couldn’t handle it. For me food has become my enemy. This thing continued till I was in my 20s and I came in front of the camera.
If you lose weight, then the habits come back
Jacqueline Fernandez said, ‘Like how I look in front of the camera. It was like you were punishing yourself for eating the food. But I was lucky to be able to overcome these things.

When someone said – be like Shilpa
