Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is currently going through a heartbreaking phase after the demise of her mother, Kim Fernandez, who passed away on April 6, 2025, due to a heart stroke. Kim had been admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai and was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) prior to her death.
Jacqueline arrived at the funeral ceremony in Mumbai, accompanied by her father, Elroy Fernandez. She was dressed in a white traditional outfit and wore a mask, in line with customary mourning attire. The actress kept a low profile and refrained from engaging with the media during this deeply personal event.
Several Bollywood personalities, including Sonu Sood—her co-star in the recent film Fateh—were present to offer their condolences and stand by Jacqueline and her family in their time of grief.
However, Jacqueline's appearance at the funeral drew criticism from certain sections of social media. Some netizens trolled her for appearing “too well-dressed” during the ceremony, accusing her of being more focused on fashion than mourning. The trolling sparked outrage among fans who defended Jacqueline, pointing out the insensitivity of such remarks during a time of personal loss.
Despite the online negativity, many fans and industry colleagues have expressed their support and condolences. Several took to social media to urge others to respect Jacqueline's privacy and allow her the space to grieve in peace.
Earlier, Jacqueline had backed out of performing at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony to remain close to her mother during hospitalization. This gesture was widely appreciated, highlighting her dedication to her family.
Jacqueline has often spoken about her close bond with her parents, and this loss is undoubtedly a deep emotional blow for the actress. At this difficult moment, fans and well-wishers continue to extend love and strength to Jacqueline and her family.
