Last Monday, Mount Agung in Bali erupted for the first time in half a century, as a result of which hundreds of flights were cancelled and thousands of people were stranded. The volcanic ash reaching Bali airport’s airspace triggered its closure. Jacqueline Fernandez, who was planning to visit the country this Christmas, has no plans of changing her travel itinerary to the popular Indonesian holiday destination.

The actress told us, “Christmas is always a family affair. So, I do plan to take a small Christmas-New Year break this year too. I will take my family out for a little vacation. I’m sure by the time we go there, things are going to be a lot better and hopefully, under control.”

Looking back at 2017, Jacqueline believes it was an eventful year, packed with work and plenty of lessons. The year ahead also seems just as busy. She says, “I had a great time working and getting appreciated for whatever little I did. I want 2018 to be the same. There was a lot to learn. I mean, A Gentleman didn’t do so well, but that taught me a lot. So, I will remember 2017 for the positives.”

Incidentally, a year ago, Jacqueline had told us in an exclusive interview that she would like to host a Christmas/New Year bash for her friends in Bollywood in 2017. Her plans would’ve taken shape but things didn’t pan out the way she had thought. Instead, she sent out hampers to her buddies last year, before taking off to Sri Lanka to celebrate Christmas and New Year with her folks. Lets see, how she rings in the celebrations this year.
