She is someone quite a few guys would like to go out with on a monsoon date. Jacqueline Fernandez, the sexy Sri Lankan feels that the rains evoke romance like no other season. Jackie tells CS what makes the monsoons a time for love:

Mumbai magic
Well, Mumbai is looking very pretty in the rains. There's greenery around, and the seaside is particularly charming. The rains are also a time for togetherness.

Watching the rains or going for a walk in a drizzle doesn't seem very appealing when you do it alone. But it has a different meaning when you have your beloved by your side.

You see all the couples sitting on the rocks at Bandra Bandstand or taking a walk near the Worli Seaface. It's the season for togetherness. One of the things I love most about monsoons is chai. It's one of those things I love and can indulge in.

Sadly, I can't say the same for pakoras (laughs out loud). A hot cup of chai seems like bliss when you're wet and cold.

Singing in the rain...
Though I don't like getting drenched, I find the rain songs in Bollywood where actresses get wet in chiffon saris quite sexy. My favourite number is Kaate Nahin Katein Hai Din Ye Raat from Mr India.

The chemistry between Srideviji and Anil Kapoorji is sizzling. I don't mind doing a rain number as long as I am getting soaked in mineral water. No real rainwater for me.

I think Ranbir (Kapoor) and I will look fabulous in a rain number (winks naughtily). He is a cool guy and a fabulous performer. I think we'll gel well (laughs out loud).

The sea and me
I love looking out at the sea while it rains. The sight of waves lashing out at the rocks is very arresting. Any view that has the rains and the sea is romantic.

Just being at home curled up on my couch with a mug of hot coffee watching the downpour from my window is also perfect. I always have soft music playing in my house when I'm home on a rainy day.

The sound of raindrops falling on the ground is very therapeutic. My idea of a perfect monsoon date would be a drive down the Bandra- Worli Sea Link listening to Pehli Nazar Mein Aisa Jadoo Kar Diya. Or else, just sharing a home-cooked meal with someone special seems lovey-dovey.
