Jacqueline Fernandez at the Oscars, representing Tell It Like A Woman, as global voices rise in celebration

In a year where Indian cinema made headlines across the world, one name that subtly but powerfully made her mark on the global stage was Jacqueline Fernandez. While all eyes were on RRR’s electrifying number "Naatu Naatu" during the Oscar nominations, quietly sharing the same spotlight was Tell It Like A Woman — a Hollywood anthology film featuring Jacqueline — nominated in the same Best Original Song category for Applause by Diane Warren.

For Jacqueline, this wasn’t just another credit on her filmography. It was yet another moment that reflects her ability to keep rewriting her own story. With every move, she defies the conventional. She’s never been one to chase the spotlight — instead, she lets her work speak louder, and somehow, it always finds its way to the big stage.

Tell It Like A Woman isn’t just another international project. It’s a female-driven anthology celebrating voices and perspectives across cultures. For Jacqueline to be a part of a film that stands for global sisterhood and creative courage is symbolic of her own journey — breaking barriers, crossing industries, and standing tall without ever losing her grace.

To be part of an Oscar-nominated project is no small feat. To do it quietly, without noise, and in direct competition with one of the most celebrated Indian films of the decade — speaks volumes about Jacqueline’s positioning as an artist who doesn’t follow the herd but walks her own path.
