A lesser known fact about the 'Kick' actress is that she was a Mass Communication student. Further to which an interesting unknown fact is that the actress was a reporter in Sri Lanka.

Her mother recently found an old reporting tape of her and sent them to Jacqueline, who was completely struck by nostalgia.

When asked if she misses the reporting days, the actress shares, `I do miss the reporting days because it was such an adventure every day, coming to work, finding out what the latest news was, working with the team, it was like being a little detective, so I do miss it in a couple of ways."

On being asked if she always wanted to be a reporter or an actor first, she shares, `I wanted to be an actor first but then I kind of felt that maybe it was little farfetched because I was this girl growing up in Bahrain from Sri Lanka. I never had any kind of opportunities to even see if I could act or if I would even be offered a role, so when I was choosing what I wanted to do in the university I went with investigative journalism as it seemed a lot more realistic, but then I kind of pulled up my socks and got some guts to came down to India and actually tried acting and it really worked, so it was amazing.`

When asked if she would ever like to play a reporter in a movie, she says, 'Yes I think if I had to play a reporter in a film I would be such a natural because I had done it for quite a lot of time when I was younger and it is something that is part of my personality as well.`




The most important thing for the actress while she was studying investigative journalism was always to make sure to cover both sides of the story, as the actress believed it's for the public to decide or judge hence it was always important that both side are covered from every single angle and she would always try to maintain that amount of fairness while reporting.

The actress as a student of investigative journalism and as a reporter, was keen to learn and gather as much knowledge as possible.
