April 6, 2025: In a heart-wrenching loss for Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, her mother, Kim Fernandez, passed away on Sunday at a Mumbai hospital. The tragic news has been confirmed by Jacqueline’s team, marking a deeply emotional moment for the family.
Kim Fernandez had been under medical care at Lilavati Hospital for the past month after suffering a heart stroke. Despite her recovery efforts in the ICU, her condition remained critical. Jacqueline had been by her mother’s side during this challenging time, frequently visiting her in the hospital. Her father, Elroy Fernandez, was also seen outside the hospital, supporting his wife during her final days.
Earlier last month, Jacqueline had to miss a major appearance at the IPL ceremony in Guwahati due to her mother’s health struggles. A source had revealed to ANI at the time, “Jacqueline’s mother is still in the ICU recovering, and the family is awaiting updates from the doctors. Jacqueline has decided to stay with her mother, which has unfortunately led her to miss performing at the IPL ceremony.”
In a deeply emotional interview with India TV, Jacqueline Fernandez had once described her mother as a constant source of inspiration. “My mom always supported me. I miss her a lot. I live here alone without my parents. There are these two people who have been so strong and have always inspired me,” she said, revealing the profound impact her mother had on her life.
Jacqueline, born in Manama, Bahrain, was raised in a multicultural household. Her mother, Kim Fernandez, hailed from Malaysian and Canadian roots, while her father, Elroy Fernandez, is Sri Lankan. The couple had met in the 1980s when Kim worked as an air hostess, and their shared love story blossomed into a beautiful family.
This loss marks a difficult chapter in Jacqueline Fernandez’s life as she faces the grief of losing her beloved mother. The Fernandez family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
