In the clip shared online, Jacqueline can be seen making her way towards the stage when she pauses to acknowledge fans who had gathered to see her.

One user wrote, “She looks uncomfortable. Why is he holding her wrist?” Another commented that the bodyguard could have done his job without touching her. Several fans also appreciated Jacqueline for not ignoring the crowd and taking time out for selfies despite the rush.
However, some people defended the bodyguard, saying security personnel are often given strict instructions to avoid overcrowding and prevent fans from getting too close to celebrities. They argued that his actions were part of ensuring the actor’s safety in a crowded environment.
Amid the debate, Jacqueline’s warm gesture towards her fans earned widespread praise. Many called her humble and kind for choosing to stop and interact instead of rushing past the crowd.
On the professional front, Jacqueline is gearing up for the release of Welcome to the Jungle, the third installment of the popular Welcome franchise. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film boasts a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Rajpal Yadav and Tusshar Kapoor.
Speaking about the film, Ahmed Khan revealed that it is not a slapstick comedy but leans more towards dark and situational humour, in line with producer Firoz Nadiadwala’s vision. The much-awaited entertainer is slated to hit theatres on June 26.
