Fernandez remembers her mother's unconditional love
"I was lucky that I was able to spend the last few months with her," Jacqueline shared. "You always feel, 'I wish I did more. What could I have done more?' And it really, really takes a lot of time to come to terms with it. I don't think I've still come to terms with it."
The Kick star reminisced about how her mother had always been proud of her journey, even when the idea of becoming an actor seemed far-fetched. Coming from a simple background, Jacqueline recalled being nervous about confessing her dreams to her family.

"I was scared to tell them that acting was my true calling. It had been since I was seven or eight. But when I finally opened up at 18, they had no hesitation in supporting me," she said.
Jacqueline Fernandez's mother was always her biggest cheerleader
She highlighted how parents, too, become part of the public sphere once their children enter showbiz. 'Whatever we go through as actors in the industry, our parents also go through it because they're also public. Everything's out there. What I admire is, it takes so much for parents to actually still support you through everything. And they were those type of parents. Especially my mom.'

Jacqueline fondly recalled how her mother always encouraged her to keep striving. 'She always called me her butterfly because I was always flitting around and flying away. That made her happy because I was doing things that made me happy.'
Currently attending the Cannes Film Festival, Jacqueline was recently honoured as part of the prestigious Women In Cinema initiative, an achievement that would have surely made her mother proud.

Amitabh Bachchan cried because of THIS villain, was once more famous than BIG B, he cried because.., villain was... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the glitzy and dazzling life of celebrities that takes center stage. However, what happens behind the scenes, when the curtain falls, is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such similar tale is of Bollywood's Shahenshah, who, before cementing his name as a superstar, was just another struggler in the bustling lanes of Hindi cinema. In 1973, when Zanjeer was released, it turned out to be a golden ticket for him. However, what many might not know is that this film, a single moment, nearly broke him and had him in tears, all thanks to a powerful villain whose popularity eclipsed Big B himself. What Made Amitabh Bachchan Cry? In 1973, director Prakash Mehra cast Amitabh Bachchan in Zanjeer, which later became a blockbuster. The film featured Amitabh's wife and actress in the lead and veteran actor Pran in the unforgettable role of Sher Khan, the friend of the protagonist. While actor Ajit was the villain of the film. But before the release, a premiere was held in Kolkata, where everyone was just talking about Pran since he was a more famous actor back then. Despite playing the central character, Amitabh remained in the background during the buzz; this really hit him hard and got him all worked up. Amitabh grew emotional and couldn't hold back his tears. At that point, even he wasn't sure whether he would ever shine as brightly. But everything changed after the film's release. As soon as Zanjeer hit the theaters, everything changed. The audience was captivated by Amitabh's intense performance as the angry young man, a character that soon became his trademark. Within days of its release, the buzz shifted. No longer was it just Pran on people's lips; it was Amitabh Bachchan. The film went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of its time, firmly establishing Amitabh as a leading star. Zanjeer redefined Amitabh's destiny and made him a household name. Opening doors to a stardom few could even dream of.
