Jacqueline Fernandez, who recently lost her mother, opened up about personal struggles, getting her big debut Hollywood project and how her family has given her mental strength, especially her parents.
The actress recalled the moment when her parents flew to Italy when she was filming Kill 'Em All 2 with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
'I just couldn't believe. I was doing lines with him (Jean-Claude Van Damme), working with him. He was my icon. I think my entire family. We had this laser disc. My dad was hellbent that if we have to watch Jean Claude, we have to watch him on a laser disc. And cut to, I am on a set with him in Italy. We helped each other with lines. My parents came down and they were like, 'We love our daughter. She made us proud.' Life came full circle. At moments like this you feel it was all worth it–the struggle, the challenges, everything," she told The Hollywood Reporter India.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
The Kick actress, who landed in controversy and faced public controversy due to his connection with conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, spoke about her personal struggles and said, 'What we go through as actors in the industry, our parents also go through it. Everything, it's out there. It takes so much for parents to still support you through everything. My mother was always proud of me and she would always want me to keep striving and dreaming."
The actress also spoke about her late mother and shared how grateful she feels that she spent some beatiful time with her before she passed away. 'I was lucky that I was able to spend the last few months with her. I always feel I wish I did more. What could I have done more? It takes a lot of time to come to terms with it. I don't think I have still come to terms with it… She was always my biggest cheerleader," Jacqueline said.

Kajol recalls her first meeting with Ajay Devgn: ‘No lightning struck moment, we were both dating others at the time'

Kajol and Ajay Devgn , one of Bollywood's most enduring couples, didn't have the fairy-tale start many might imagine. In a recent interview with Radio Nasha, Kajol candidly recalled her first meeting with Ajay on the sets of the 1995 film Hulchul, debunking any romanticised notions of a 'Raj-Simran' moment like in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. 'He was just really, really quiet' 'There was nothing of that sort,' Kajol said when asked if sparks flew the first time she met Ajay. 'I mean, he was really, really like he is today also. He doesn't talk much. On set or off set, he's just quiet. A really, really quiet man.' She shared that during those long hours on set, she couldn't understand how someone could remain so silent. 'We've been sitting on set for 8-10 hours. Besides 'Hi', 'Hello', 'How are you?' — how can you not talk?' she said, joking that unlike someone practising Vipassana, normal people do engage in conversation. From opposites to soulmates Kajol admitted that their personalities were poles apart. 'I like people. I get along very well with certain people... and he was just really the opposite of everything,' she added. Interestingly, both Ajay and Kajol were dating other people at the time. 'So it was not a 'lightning struck' or anything like that. But yeah, I think eventually we kind of came together and yeah... we got married. Of course,' she smiled. Kajol Gets CANDID About Motherhood Lessons and Son Yug's Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' | Exclusive Kajol on navigating marriage and movies with Ajay In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kajol opened up about the realities of being married to someone in the same profession. While she and Ajay have shared the screen in several films, she revealed that working together isn't always smooth sailing. '90% of the time, if he is going over the top, I just call him out on it — and he calls me out on it. We're not civilised. We will not take it to the corner,' she laughed. However, she added that such moments are rare since they work together 'once in five years.' Kajol and Ajay have two children, Nysa, born in 2003, who is currently pursuing her higher studies abroad, and Yug, born in 2010, who is still in school.

Who is Amouranth? Viral streamer returns to Twitch after profiting $38 million off Kick

Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, is one of the internet's most recognized and controversial live streamers. Known for her blend of gaming content, IRL streaming, ASMR and modelling, she built a massive following on Twitch before diversifying to platforms like OnlyFans and later, Kick. Her popularity soared in 2020 and 2021, when she became one of Twitch's highest-earning female streamers, according to Dexerto. Despite several bans over policy violations, she continued to dominate viewership charts. In 2023, she signed with Kick, a rival streaming platform backed by Stake, shortly after xQc's $100 million deal made waves. While her contract figures weren't disclosed, Amouranth told Dexerto it had 'doubled' her income. On June 19, Siragusa confirmed she is leaving Kick and making her return to Twitch. In a humorous video posted to X, she is seen refuelling a green car with a 'Kick Com' plate, telling someone on the phone, 'I'm on my way after I refuel a bit. Be there soon.' The car then morphs into a purple vehicle-Twitch's signature colour- as a Spongebob-style screen reads '$38 million later.' While it is unclear whether she will stream exclusively on Twitch or adopt a multistreaming model, her return stream is scheduled for June 20. Amouranth's presence on YouTube has been significantly limited. The Google-owned platform banned her main account over 'ban evasion' after earlier removing her ASMR channel for 'sexual content.' Given that, any future multistreaming is expected to exclude YouTube. Even in her absence, Amouranth has remained a top name in online entertainment-drawing millions across various platforms and continuing to monetise her brand through content, partnerships, and subscription services. Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, is a popular Twitch streamer and content creator known for her live streams, cosplay, and ASMR videos. While not confirmed, her June 19 video suggests she is moving on from Kick after reportedly earning $38 million there. Her return stream is set for June 20, 2025.

Viral Kick streamer and creator Amouranth is coming back to Twitch after earning $38M from Kick

(Image via YouTube/@SmoshAlike) Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, just made headlines again, but this time, it's not for her wild streams or viral stunts. After raking in a jaw-dropping $38 million from streaming platform Kick, she's officially making her way back to Twitch. Yes, you read that right. Here's everything we know. A $38M Detour Called Kick Back in 2023, Amouranth shocked fans by leaving Twitch to sign an exclusive deal with Kick. The platform was still new but gaining serious momentum thanks to massive creator signings, including xQc's historic $100M contract. While her exact Kick contract details were hush-hush, Amouranth herself revealed in an interview that it doubled her income. If the math checks out, that's $19M a year; not bad for a 'side gig,' right? Kick gave her the space to push boundaries, build her empire, and explore other business ventures… all while cashing in big. The Return Tease That Broke the Internet Fast forward to June 19, 2025. Amouranth drops a cheeky teaser video on X (formerly Twitter). In the clip, she's seen refueling her car with a green Kick-themed license plate at a gas station. She gets a call, casually says, 'I'm on my way,' then hops in the car. Then? A quick flash of the Spongebob meme - '$38 million later' and the green car turns Twitch purple. The car suddenly transforms into a Twitch-purple ride. And just like that, her comeback was confirmed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo The Twitch return is officially set for June 20. What's Next for Amouranth? Here's what we don't know yet: Is she returning to Twitch exclusively? Has her Kick deal ended, or is she simply allowed to multistream? Will we see her explore OTK, which she's publicly shown interest in joining? What we do know: She's not going to YouTube. Her main account was terminated for ban evasion, and her ASMR content was previously removed for 'sexual content.' So, Twitch is really the only big stage left. xQc Reacts to Amouranth Announcing Return to Twitch after Making Over $38 MILLION From KICK Alone Why Now? Why Twitch? There's no official word on whether her Kick contract simply ran out or if she opted for an early exit. But what's clear is this: the exclusivity era may be ending. Platforms like Kick are no longer locking down creators with long-term deals. Instead, they're pushing multistreaming—something Amouranth might lean into next. After a lucrative two-year run on Kick, Amouranth is pulling a full-circle move and returning to Twitch. With $38 million in the bank, a purple car, and a teaser that broke the internet, she's proving once again: she knows how to command attention and the bag.
