Jacqueline Fernandez
One of Bollywood's prettiest actresses, Jacqueline Fernandez, has launched her own YouTube channel. Launched today, July 23, Jackie's channel already has over 3k subscribers. The actress started her YouTube channel in order to connect better with her fans. Jacqueline, who is active on social media, went live on Instagram to launch the channel.
The first video that the actress uploaded on YouTube gives glimpses from her childhood, her family, her first ramp walk, her first audition, and the moment she was crowned Miss Sri Lanka. "Looking back, I think I always had a special relationship with the camera. I feel I have always been camera-friendly -- a happy little kid. I have two people to thank for that -- my dad and my mom," she said in the video.
"As I grew up, so did my dreams and so did the size of the ramp... I was only 21 when I got a chance to be at Miss Universe. Although I didn't win, this gave me enough confidence to chase my dreams, and that somehow got me to Mumbai. That is a story I will tell you later," added Jacqueline.
