Apart from her bubbly personality, actress Jacqueline Fernandez is known for her toned body and envy-worthy curves. However, the actress recently revealed that achieving this was an uphill task given her struggles with food habits during her younger days.
In a conversation with Shilpa Shetty Kundra on her newly-launched wellness talk show Shape of You, Jacquie told the former that she used to punish herself for eating during her pageant days in the early ‘20s.
When asked if her food habits change under stress Jacqueline replied, “In my 20s I did go through quite a lot of eating issues. A lot. It happened because of my pageant days, I did not realise then but to be appearing on an international platform at the age of 19 (had its own pressures). That is when the pressure really got to me, I did not know how to handle it. Food became the enemy. That then continued in my 20s and continued (when I became an actor) being in front of the camera. Like (I would worry about) how I am going to look in front of the camera. It was like you would punish yourself for eating"
However, she overcame this ‘horrible’ habit overtime and that actress stated that this episode of her life made her stronger and much aware about food. “I was blessed that I was able to overcome it. Slowly, it took time. There would be times when I would be go for months and would be okay and then something would happen, and I would go back into the habit. I was quite horrible actually, but it was definitely something that made me stronger and much more aware of food.”
Jacqueline also revealed that she was once told by an actor to “be like Shilpa Shetty” when she was being too picky with the food on the sets. She also stated peanut butter to be her no-compromise breakfast.
On the work front, the actress is gearing up for her upcoming releases Bachchhan Paandey and Attack opposite Akshay Kumar and John Abraham respectively.
