Bollywood catfights have made some of the most gossipy headlines of all time. However, 'Judwaa 2’ star Jacqueline Fernandez feels that things are often misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. She recently rubbished rumours about the cold war between her and ‘Judwaa 2’ co-star Taapsee Pannu.
“The kind of impression that the media gives about actresses is we are fighting among ourselves or over somebody. According to people, I had an issue with Taapsee (Pannu) but I had not even shot one scene with the poor girl till then. Our paths didn’t even cross during the London shoot, it happened only when we started shooting together for 'Tan Tana Tan'. And already there were stories about cold vibes. It’s as if the heroines don’t have any greater goal in life than having a catfight or date our co-stars,” asserted Jacqueline.
News about her rumoured relationship with ‘A Gentleman’ co-star Sidharth Malhotra grew intense after it was reported that he has parted ways with alleged girlfriend Alia Bhatt. It was further reported that the two actresses have had a major fallout out post which Jacqueline unfollowed Alia on Instagram.
She said that she has clarified things with the Alia as well. “I picked up the phone and called her. I told Alia that I don’t care what people say or mean, or how they judge me. They can think anything about me. But I do care about what she thinks of me. I spoke to her about this whole unfollowing incident, which is in no way the truth. I follow over a thousand people. Alia and I have so much banter on Twitter and I didn’t even actually realise that I was not following her on Instagram. We are always having conversations on Twitter, so I was thinking, “Are people retarded? Don’t they see all that?”
So how did Alia react to this? Jacqueline said, “Alia was really cute. She laughed and said, “Next time we meet, let’s click loads of selfies and put them up! (Laughs) We planned to take over Instagram like that. We had a good laugh over it. But honestly, I don’t like people coming between me and my co-stars.”
Addressing reports about her alleged relationship with Sidharth, she quipped, “First of all, if I’m dating someone, I will talk about it. Sid and I are not dating, we are just friends. We have worked on a film together. I don’t see why two actors who have had a happy working relationship always have to be linked to each other. Honestly, I don’t want to date my co-stars. They are professionals to me, and people I’m working with. So I don’t want to be in a relationship with them. So put those rumours to rest, it’s not going to happen. Even if I’m saying we are not dating, which is the truth, that’s a story. I’m sick and tired of being linked to my co-stars because I don’t see them that way.”
On the work front, Jacqueline’s ‘Judwaa 2’, co-starring Varun Dhawan and Taapsee Pannu, will hit the theatres on 29th September.
