Jacqueline Fernandez Misses IPL Performance as Mother Remains in ICU
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez is currently focusing her attention on her mother, Kim Fernandez, who is hospitalized and in the ICU. The family is awaiting further updates from medical staff regarding her condition. Due to this distressing situation, Jacqueline has decided to forgo her scheduled performance at the IPL Ceremony on March 26.
Jacqueline was set to deliver a dynamic performance at the ACA Stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati, as part of the festivities leading up to the IPL match featuring the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), led by Riyan Parag. The information about her performance cancellation was confirmed by Devajit Saikia, general secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on March 23, as part of the BCCI’s initiative to enhance the excitement of the 2025 IPL season with cultural events at all host venues.
Specific details about Kim Fernandez’s health have not been disclosed, but her daughter swiftly returned home upon learning the news to support her during this critical time. Although Jacqueline has not issued an official statement, sources indicate that her mother’s well-being is her primary concern at the moment.
This is not the first time Kim has faced health challenges; she experienced a stroke in 2022 that necessitated hospitalization in Bahrain. Hailing from a multicultural background, Kim resides in Manama, Bahrain. Her heritage includes Malaysian and Canadian roots, with family ties tracing back to Goa, India.
Jacqueline has frequently expressed the profound connection she shares with her parents. In a past interview with India TV, she remarked, “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.”
In addition to her family situation, Jacqueline has been in the public eye recently due to allegations related to the Sukesh Chandrasekhar case. On the professional front, she was last seen in the film “Fateh,” in partnership with actor Sonu Sood.
