She is new to the country as well as the film industry and three-film-old Jacqueline Fernandez, who tasted success recently with 'Murder 2', feels Bollywood is "intimidating".
The 26-year-old actress, who hails from Sri Lanka, says that being an outsider in the Hindi film industry and the country has its own drawbacks.
The 26-year-old actress, who hails from Sri Lanka, says that being an outsider in the Hindi film industry and the country has its own drawbacks.
"At the end of the day you are an outsider and it doesn't help you much when you don't even belong to the country. You can't imagine how it feels for a young woman to come back to an empty apartment, be all lonely and face her demons.
"The city starts seeming far more alien while the heer unpredictability of Bollywood as an industry starts intimidating you," Jacqueline told PTI. It has been just three years in the industry for the former model, who began her acting career with 'Aladin' in 2009, followed by 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai'. But both films bombed, making it tough for Jacqueline to make a mark in Bollywood.
"I had a very rough last year. 'Jaane...' and 'Housefull' released back to back and though 'Dhanno' was a good enough reason to smile, honestly I expected much more from my career," she said.
