Mid-Day

There is no doubt that Jacqueline Fernandez is smiling away like a Cheshire cat. Our sources say that the actress has been signed by a soap brand in Sri Lanka to endorse its product. Incidentally, Katrina Kaif is the face of the same brand in India. And sources say that Jackie has been offered the same fee that Kat draws for the India ad for the company.

A source says, “Katrina has been the brand ambassador of the soap ever since she did Abbas-Mustan’s Race. She even appeared in another ad for the brand with Shah Rukh Khan. And now Jackie has signed on the brand in her own country.”

An insider from the company says, “Jacqueline was our first choice. Her work in India has made her an inspiration in Sri Lanka. We are happy with the association.”

While sources add that Kat and Jackie’s fee are more or less the same, insiders refuse to divulge the actual amount.
