Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandez, who has made India her home, says she never felt like an outsider here.
In a video produced by The Quint, she says she came here without any family or local connection, but still made it.
The people of India "showered" her with their tradition, language and culture, and made her feel at home.
"That's why I never left the country," she says.
A Sri Lankan actress and former model, Jacqueline Fernandez, came to India on a modelling assignment in India in 2009, when she got an offer to join Hindi film industry.
She made her acting debut in Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy drama Aladin and went on to act in commercial movies such as Murder 2 (2011), Housefull 2 (2012), Race 2 (2013) and Kick (2014).
Jacqueline Fernandez is gearing up for the release of next big film Brothers, where she will be seen with Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra. For the first time in her career, she will be dropping her glamorous image to play a gritty role..
