Recently, actress Jacqueline Fernandez was asked about her opinion on the controversy over fairness cream ads, she did not take any sides but voiced her opinion loud and clear.

Speaking to a leading daily, she said, “As far as this is concerned, something I am definitely against is discrimination and I don’t want this generation to grow up in a society where people feel it’s okay to discriminate you based on your colour. So, that is something I will definitely stand up for.”

On the work front, the actress has three movies in her kitty. ‘Reload’ with Sidharth Malhotra, ‘Judwaa 2’ with Varun Dhawan and ‘Drive’ movie with Sushant Singh Rajput. This is going to be the first time that the actress is working on a remake of an old Hindi movie, so naturally she is nervous as she said, “Absolutely there’s pressure. Those are not easy shoes to fill. We are trying to do as much justice to the 1997 ‘Judwaa’. But we have the same director… He knows exactly what he wants. We all are excited, we are such a great team. I am hoping that we are able to recreate the magic of ‘Judwaa’.”
