Jacqueline Fernandez missed IPL ceremony

Earlier in March, Jacqueline Fernandez rushed back to Mumbai after she got to know that her mom had been admitted to the ICU. Reports suggested that the actress had put all her professional commitments on hold. A source revealed, “Jacqueline’s mother is still in the ICU recovering, as the family awaits further updates from the doctors. In these challenging times, Jacqueline has chosen to be by her mother’s side and, unfortunately, will be missing performing at the IPL ceremony,” shared a source close to the actress.

“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,” said the actress in an earlier interaction with India TV.
