Jacqueline Fernandez Mourns the Loss of Her Mother Kim Fernandez
A Heartfelt Farewell
Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez is experiencing profound sorrow following the passing of her mother, Kim Fernandez, who died on April 6, 2025, after suffering a heart stroke. Kim had been receiving treatment at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai and was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) before her death.
Jacqueline attended the funeral service in Mumbai alongside her father, Elroy Fernandez. She wore a traditional white outfit and a mask, adhering to the customs of mourning. The actress chose to keep a low profile and avoided media interactions during this personal and painful occasion.
Numerous Bollywood figures, including Sonu Sood, her co-star from the recent film Fateh, were present to pay their respects and support Jacqueline and her family during this challenging time.
However, Jacqueline faced criticism on social media for her appearance at the funeral, with some users accusing her of being “too well-dressed” and prioritizing fashion over mourning. This backlash led to outrage among her supporters, who defended her and highlighted the insensitivity of such comments during a time of grief.
In spite of the negative comments online, numerous fans and colleagues from the industry have shown their support and condolences. Many took to social media to call for respect for Jacqueline's privacy, urging others to allow her the space to mourn.
Previously, Jacqueline had opted out of performing at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony to stay by her mother's side during her hospitalization. This decision was met with appreciation, showcasing her commitment to her family.
Jacqueline has frequently expressed her strong connection with her parents, making this loss particularly devastating for her. During this challenging time, fans and supporters continue to send love and strength to Jacqueline and her family.
