Actress Jacqueline Fernandez who grew up in Bahrain has reportedly played a role in her country’s decision to open an embassy in the Bahraini capital Manama, an Indian news channel has said.

“By birth, Jacqueline may be a Sri Lankan, but the actress takes her affiliation to Bahrain quite seriously,” NDTV said. “She recently helped in dialogues that will soon lead to the opening of the Lankan embassy in the Gulf country.”

Citing sources it did not identify, NDTV said that “Jacqueline has spent a lot of her growing up years in Bahrain, as her parents moved there”.

“There was no Sri Lankan embassy in Bahrain but only a consulate and she felt there was a need for someone to protect immigrants of a particular nation in another country. Apparently, thanks to her popularity the actress pulled a few strings and took matters into her hands. She had many meetings with those in power and urged them to open the embassy,” the source said.

So a woman (We don't really know if she actually got involved) get's involved in an important decision like this and automatically she is a whore?

Judgemental /petty minded / jealous much?
