Jacqueline Fernandez has never been a
secret. And now it has come to light that Ms.
Fernandez coveted the role that finally went
to Katrina in Bharat.
Spilling the beans with a chuckle, a close
friend says, "The minute Jacqueline heard
about Priyanka Chopra's ouster from
Bharat, she got into action. Jacqueline sent
Salman and the director Ali Abbas Zafar
feelers through mutual friends. When that
didn't work, she directly approached
Salman with her very generous offer to step
into the void.
Then what happened?
"Nothing, says the source. "I think Salman
Khan ignored Jacqueline's request. It was
too soon after the unexpected debacle of
Race 3. I think he needed a break from that
pairing. And besides, Salman's first choice
for Bharat was Katrina Kaif. It was only on
Priyanka's insistence that he changed his
plans. Now when Priyanka was out, why
would he go to anyone else?
One wonders if Katrina knows of
Jacqueline's attempts to muscle into her
territory. It would be one more nail in the
coffin of their already-troubled relationship.
