Film industry requires you to be a people’s person, Jacqueline Fernandez

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has raised her voice against the dark side of Bollywood.

In an interview with a local news source, Race 3 actress said that she remains unworried by nepotism in India as she still manages to get roles.

“I realized something about the industry that it is the most beautiful fraud in the world. I have been here for ten years and I have come here from nowhere. What we do is not real. As actors, whatever we do is always a show,”

In addition to this, she also said that the film industry requires you to be a people’s person. “And it is a skill to be able to do that. One thing that I learned is to be the best talent you can be, be the most hard-working person, but at the same time, the industry requires you to also be a people’s person. It’s very important to be a people’s person in this industry,”

Furthermore, Jacqueline also said, “Fortunately or unfortunately, it is about how you communicate and how well you get along with people. Making a film is not about one person, hundreds of people are involved. It’s teamwork. You need to be able to work with all these people. My thing is to learn communication as a skill,”

She added that nepotism does not affect her as she is still getting work.

“The reason why nepotism didn’t bother me because I was still getting work. Maybe not the kind of work that I wanted to do, but the work I needed. I was still getting my fair share of work. I didn’t see it affecting me very much,”

“They have a really tough casting board. Everybody needs to go through auditions, they need to prove themselves. In Bollywood, I don’t know if there’s a rigid casting system. It may be there for secondary actors. But when someone wants to make a film with their people, I don’t think we can do anything about it,”
