Sri Lankan beauty and Bollywood diva Jacqueline Fernandez is known for her beauty and fitness. But do you know the actress also had to struggle with food habits during her younger days. Opening up about the same on Shilpa Shetty Kundra's show Jacqueline shared that she used to punish herself for eating when she was in her 20s. When Shilpa asked Jacqueline if she changes her food habits when under stress, the 'Kick' actress said, "In my 20s I did go through quite a lot of eating issues. A lot. It happened because of my pageant days, I did not realise then but to be appearing on an international platform at the age of 19 (had its own pressures). That is when the pressure really got to me, I did not know how to handle it. Food became the enemy. That then continued in my 20s and continued (when I became an actor) being in front of the camera." Jacqueline further said, "Like (I would worry about) how I am going to look in front of the camera. It was like you would punish yourself for eating. But, I was blessed that I was able to overcome it. Slowly, it took time. There would be times when I would be go for months and would be okay and then something would happen, and I would go back into the habit. I was quite horrible actually, but it was definitely something that made me stronger and much more aware of food. Jacqueline also said that an actor once told her, "Be like Shilpa Shetty" when she was too choosy with her food on sets of a film." When Jacqueline said she'd let go of her hair (which she loves a lot), if a role requires her to grow bald, Shilpa told her, "You have suddenly become a saint! A pole dancing saint, with a halo around your head." Talking about Jacqueline, ever since the infamous and biggest multi-crore extortion racket in Delhi involving the fraudster Sukesh Chandrashekhar got unfolded by the Enforcement Directorate, Jacqueline's name has been making rounds for her alleged relationship with the conman. The actress has also been going through a rough time as there has been a strong buzz that Jaqueline and Sukesh were allegedly in a relationship, and ED has revealed that the conman had even gifted the actress items worth crores.
