💔 Jacqueline Fernandez’s Mother, Kim Fernandez, Passes Away in Mumbai: An Outpouring of Support from Bollywood
The Bollywood fraternity woke up to heartbreaking news on April 6, 2025 — Kim Fernandez, mother of popular actress Jacqueline Fernandez, has passed away after battling health complications stemming from a major heart stroke. She breathed her last at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, where she had been admitted to the ICU in critical condition.
The actress, known for her roles in films like Kick, Race 3, and Fateh, had openly expressed her concerns about her mother’s declining health in recent interviews. Just last month, she skipped her IPL performance in Guwahati, prioritizing her mother’s medical emergency over the high-profile event. A source had confirmed that Kim was in the ICU at that time, surrounded by her family as doctors continued to monitor her condition closely.
🕊️ A Family in Mourning
Kim Fernandez, who maintained a low public profile, was often described by Jacqueline as her greatest strength and source of inspiration. Jacqueline, who shares a close bond with both her parents — Kim and Elroy Fernandez — was visibly emotional as she and her father were spotted entering the funeral venue in Mumbai earlier today.
The scene was filled with solemn respect, as Bollywood colleagues and friends gathered to pay their final respects. Actor Sonu Sood, who recently worked with Jacqueline on Fateh, was among the first to arrive. The action-thriller marked Sood’s directorial debut and offered both actors a chance to bond off-screen — making his presence at the funeral all the more heartfelt.
💬 Official Statement from Team Jacqueline Fernandez
In an emotional social media post, Jacqueline’s team shared the following message:
“It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Kim Fernandez, Jackie’s beloved mother.
She has left us too soon, and our hearts go out to Jackie and her family during this incredibly difficult time.
May her soul rest in peace. #JacquelineFernandez”
The message has since gone viral, with fans, co-stars, and industry figures expressing condolences and offering prayers for the grieving family.
🌟 Jacqueline Fernandez: A Career Marked by Strength and Stardom
The Malay-Sri Lankan beauty has always been known not just for her on-screen charm, but also for her resilience off-screen. With over 30 films under her belt in just a little over a decade, Jacqueline’s journey from Aladin to Kick and Fateh has been nothing short of inspiring.
Her last film, Fateh, was especially significant as it tackled cybercrime during the COVID-19 era, blending action and social relevance. While promoting the film, Jacqueline had spoken about the challenges of shooting while managing her personal life — hinting at her mother’s fragile health.
