Jacqueline’s Career Gets a Jolt Due to Possessive Director Boyfriend

Posted by admin on Sep 5th, 2011 | 0 comments

Jacqueline Fernandez has been asked not to do an item number for Desi Boyz starring Akshay Kumar and John Abraham by her boyfriend Sajid Khan. The unit of Desi Boyz is fuming that the possessive boyfriend is interfering in his woman’s professional decisions as well. An insider says, “Director Rohit Dhawan and producer Krishika Lulla were keen that Jackie does an item song for DB. However, she refused the song saying Sajid (Khan) wouldn’t like it. Apparently, the director has a say in whatever Jackie does, personally and professionally. The ‘official’ reason is that if Jackie acts with John in Desi Boyz (it releases before Housefull 2), the pairing would lose its freshness for Sajid’s film.”

Khan refutes the claim, “She hasn’t discussed anything with me. It’s her choice… I will never interfere with anyone’s career. If she asks me, I will definitely stop her. Jackie is paired opposite John in my film. If she performs an item song with Akshay and John in Desi Boyz and it releases before my film, it will affect the freshness of my film. I won’t allow any of my pairs – Akshay-Asin, John-Jackie and Ritiesh-Zarine – to do item songs together in anyone elses’ film before Housefull 2 releases.”

When prodded if a personal reason was behind him not allowing Jackie to do the film, he said, , “I don’t discuss my personal life.” Jacqueline said “Sajid is the director of my next film, Housefull 2. He wants to see John and me as a fresh screen pair with this film. Doing the DB song would’ve killed that element, so I respected his decision and passed on the opportunity.” But producer Krishika was more fair in her statement, “Jacqueline told me Sajid wouldn’t allow her to do the song.”
