Acting career:-

Early film career (2009–2010)

      Fernandez made her acting debut in the 2009 Bollywood fantasy movie Aladin playing a character inspired by the Disney Princess character of Jasmine.[8] For her performance, Fernandez received mixed reviews, with Anupama Chopra of NDTV calling her a "plastic debutant".[9] However, Taran Adarsh of BollywoodHungama complimented her more on her looks, rather than her performance by saying, "Jacqueline Fernandez gets no scope, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless.[10]
In year 2010, she was seen once again appearing alongside Ritesh Deshmukh in the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She received mainly negative reviews for her performance. Rediff criticized her by writing," She gamely makes a fool of herself whilst aping the actions of movie stars, ranging from Sridevi's Naagin dance, Mithun Chakravarthy's Disco Dancer moves to Big B's violent headshake in Hum. Her Tara could be a keeper if only Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wasn't so intent on turning her into a love-struck Barbie.[11] That year, she made a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in the song "Dhanno".

2011–present

   Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama reviewed, "Stepping into Mallika's shoes in the sequel is Jacqueline. Like Mallika, she takes the boldness quotient to the next level with her sexy avatar.

In fact, she gets little scope to display histrionics, but she makes a sincere attempt to portray her character with care."[13] A review from the The Times of India stated that Fernandez was "tastefully tempting" but noted that her romance with Hashmi was "literally half-baked".[14] Murder 2 launched Fernandez's career for the good, as she started getting offers from big production houses.

Welcome to Bollywood, Miss Fernandez".[24] Joginder Tuteja of Indicine noted, "Jacqueline has a bigger part to play and she does it well while looking her best."[25] Fernandez also appeared in an item number titled "Jaadu Ki Jhappi" for Prabhu Deva's Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya.
