Due
to
the
uncertainty
looming
amid
the
second
wave
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
the
work
schedule
of
many
Bollywood
stars
has
gone
for
a
toss.
Amid
this,
Jacqueline
Fernandez
in
a
recent
interview,
talked
about
how
her
parents
are
worried
about
her
safety
in
India,
and
desperately
want
her
to
return
back
to
Bahrain.
While
speaking
with
ETimes,
the
Race
3
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"My
friends
from
Sri
Lanka
and
my
parents,
who
live
in
Bahrain,
watch
the
news
and
panic
when
they
see
the
situation
in
India.
My
parents
desperately
want
me
to
live
with
them
in
Bahrain...
even
my
uncles
and
cousins
in
Sri
Lanka
are
asking
me
to
come
and
stay
with
them.
However,
I
am
pretty
intent
on
staying
put
here
and
continuing
the
work
I
am
doing."
Speaking
about
the
second
wave
of
the
pandemic,
Jacqueline
said,
"I
think
in
2020,
the
outbreak
of
the
virus
shocked
everyone.
This
time
around,
while
we
were
under-prepared
for
the
second
wave,
people
came
out
in
large
numbers
to
actively
help
those
in
distress."
The
actress
too
has
been
reaching
out
to
those
in
distress
with
her
new
initiative.
Jacqueline
has
been
focusing
all
her
energies
on
helping
people
affected
by
COVID-19
in
various
ways
through
her
foundation.
Last
year,
Jacqueline
Fernandez
was
juggling
between
the
shoots
of
her
upcoming
films,
Pawan
Kripalani's
horror
comedy
Bhoot
Police,
Rohit
Shetty's
Cirkus
and
Akshay
Kumar's
Bachchan
Pandey
when
the
COVID-19
lockdown
was
announced.
Earlier
this
year,
when
the
lockdown
restrictions
were
lifted,
the
actress
also
kickstarted
the
shooting
of
Akshay
Kumar's
Ram
Setu
when
the
latter
and
few
crew
members
were
diagnosed
with
COVID-19.
