I don't want to be typecast: Jacqueline Fernandez

Highlights

• After her saucy avatar in Murder 2 made headlines, Jacqueline Fernandez is now looking forward to embrace her new girl-next-door image.
• While Jacqueline Fernandez steers clear of all the around her relationship with rumoured-beau Sajid Khan, she opens up on her close friendships in the industry and her aversion to reading personal details about her life splashed across newspapers.
• Question: Normally actors have the meatier roles in comedies and girls are just the arm candies. Is it the same case with Housefull 2?
• Answer: The audience will be pleasantly surprised with the way the girls have acted in the film. They have hilarious tracks. Asin is unbelievable. Her comic timing is on par with a lot of male actors. I was really impressed.
• Question: After playing a seductress in Murder 2, you are playing a girl-next-door again. Are you trying to shed your bold image?
• Answer: It's really important for any actor to have variety in his/her work. I don't want to be typecast and unfortunately the industry does try to stereotype actors.
• Question: Is it why you refused you have refused Krissh 3 and Raaz 3?
• Answer: Raaz 3 was pretty bold but more than that, it was a pretty intense script. There were certain things that I wasn't sure I was seasoned enough to do. To my bad luck, Krissh 3 and Housefull 2 were happening at the same time. I had to honour my prior commitment.
• Question: There are rumours that you are keeping away from bold roles because Sajid (her rumoured beau) is not comfortable?
• Answer: There are rumours about everyone. You can't believe everything. If you lead a simple life and if simple things happen to you, that doesn't make news. So people weave all sorts of spicy stories.
• Question: When you are seeing the director of a film, does he tend to get partial towards you?
• Answer: I can't answer this.
• Question: Does an actress' sexy image pose a hurdle in bagging performance-oriented roles?
• Answer: It doesn't, if you are a stunning actress with loads of talent like Kareena (Kapoor) and Ash (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). I think people do cast you based on your talent and nothing else.
• Question: Is it just a co-incidence that Riteish Deshmukh is your co-star in all your films except Murder 2?
• Answer: It's a pure co-incidence. Working with him is so wonderful because he is my oldest friend in the industry. We share a very good bond. In Housefull 2, he was the only person I knew and that made things a lot easier for me.
• Question: Is it true that you opted out of a film because you were fed up with the link-up stories with Riteish?
• Answer: There were quite a lot of rumours about us. There was a project that we were supposed to do together.
• Question: Does it bother you that you are more in news because of your personal life than your work?
• Answer: I am a very private person. I don't like the entire nation reading about my personal life in a newspaper.
• Question: After doing a comedy, a fantasy film, a thriller and an action flick, what are you looking forward to next?
• Answer: I'd really love to do a love story. I love romantic films like Legends of The Fall, Ghost, and Gone With The Wind. I'd definitely want to see myself in one.
