Only Indian actress to own private island, has no hit in 8 years, still beat Deepika, Priyanka, Alia, Katrina, Aishwarya
Owning a piece of land is a sign of privilege, no doubt. Only a very small percentage of population are owners of their land, let alone their house. So, owning a private island is quite big a deal, something reserved only for the uber rich. In fact, the feat is so rare that only three Bollywood celebrities have their own islands and only one of them is a woman. The only Indian actress who owns a private island is not a usual suspect.
One would assume that the one of the richest and most successful Indian actresses would be the one to own a private island. Aishwarya Rai is the richest Indian actress today but she doesn’t own an island. Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are the highest-paid actresses around but they don’t own islands either. Similarly, other A-listers such as Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Kareena Kapoor are not proud owners of a private island. That honour goes to Jacqueline Fernandez, the Sri Lankan actress who has been active in Bollywood for over 15 years.
How did Jacqueline Fernandez buy a private island
Jacqueline may not be a force at the box office right now but a decade ago, she was among the top actresses in the industry with back-to-back hits like Murder 2, Housefull 2, Race 2, and Kick. Her last hit came in 2016 (Housefull 3) but before that, she was on top of her game from 2011-14. It was during this golden run in 2012 that Jacqueline had bought a private island off the coast of Sri Lanka, her home country.
