Jacqueline Fernandez’s mother, Kim, hospitalized in the ICU, prompting actress to pause her career.
Jacqueline Fernandez’s mother, Kim Fernandez, has been hospitalized in critical condition, with reports indicating that she is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The specific details surrounding her medical situation remain private. Upon learning of her mother’s condition, Jacqueline made an immediate return home to provide support during this challenging time. Although there has been no formal statement from Jacqueline, close family sources suggest she is prioritizing her mother’s well-being above all else.
In a statement from celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani, he expressed concern, stating, “It’s truly heartbreaking to hear about Jacqueline Fernandez’s mother being in the ICU. Family always comes first, and it’s understandable that Jacqueline had to rush back. Hoping for her mother’s speedy recovery and strength for their family during this difficult time.”
To devote her attention fully to her family, Jacqueline has reportedly halted her professional engagements in light of her mother’s health crisis.
This is not the first instance of health challenges for Kim; back in 2022, she experienced a stroke that required hospitalization in Bahrain, where she resides. Kim has a multicultural background, having Malaysian and Canadian roots, with her ancestry tracing back to Goa, India, via her maternal grandfather.
Jacqueline has often expressed the strength of her bond with her family and her mother’s pivotal role in her life. In a previous interview, she remarked on the support she has received from her parents, emphasizing the emotional void of living apart from them: “My mom has always supported me. I miss her a lot. I live here alone without my parents. They have been so strong and such an inspiration for me, which always keeps me going.”
Amidst this personal ordeal, Jacqueline has also been in the public eye due to her connection to the ongoing Sukesh Chandrasekhar controversy. On the professional front, her most recent project was the film *Fateh*, where she starred alongside actor Sonu Sood.
