It’s a lazy Saturday evening and Jacqueline Fernandez is in the midst of a whirlwind of commitments. Yet there’s not a moment where her smile doesn’t reach her eye, when her laughter is not out loud and her reaction not candid. She holds forth on literally everything under the sun: beauty, fitness, happiness and life philosophy. It’s not contentment or satisfactions that keep her ticking—it is pure, unadulterated appreciation. She’s thrilled to be where she is right now and the cheer is awfully infectious.

THE SECRET

We’ve grown to believe she’s the happiest girl in Bollywood. In her vanity van is a code of regulations: no gossip, no negative talk, no complaining. “I don’t want that to seep into my energy.” She has this 17-second rule: she doesn’t dwell on anything for more than that. It really helps with the bad air, the grudges. “People have stopped believing in the fact that the universe will take care of everything. You have to be positive. I work at it constantly.”

FOOD FOR MY MOOD

“I actually call it that.” Simply put, she eats whatever makes her happy. It should keep her body alkaline, her skin looking great and her weight in check. Her protein intake is measured but there’s a whole lot of spinach, broccoli and asparagus, a good dose of fruits, eggs, fish, idli, quinoa, rice noodles and brown rice. Sticking to the no-nos helps plan her meals better. Topping that list is sugar, followed by dairy and wheat. Rye flour or spelt flour is always handy in her kitchen; she bakes her own bread. “I’ve become the queen of alternative eating.”
