Indian film stars are known for their opulent lifestyles, often flaunting private jets, luxury cars, and sprawling bungalows. Yet, one Bollywood actress stands out with an exceptionally rare asset — a private island.
Jacqueline Fernandez, a Sri Lankan actress who has been part of the Indian entertainment industry for over two decades, is the only Bollywood actress reported to own a private island.
Located off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, the four-acre island was purchased by Jacqueline in 2012 for approximately $600,000, which was around Rs 3 crore at the time, reports Hindustan Times.
While many of her peers invest in luxury homes or international properties, Jacqueline’s decision to acquire an island sets her apart. Reports at the time of purchase suggested she intended to build a lavish villa on the property.
However, it remains unclear whether the project was meant for her personal retreat or for commercial use, such as leasing it for tourism purposes. Although details about the island’s development remain undisclosed, Jacqueline is still believed to be the owner.
Former Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez began her career as a model before debuting in Bollywood with Aladin (2009). She rose to fame with Murder 2 (2011) and delivered hits like Housefull 2 and Race 2. After a slow phase, she was last seen in Fateh and will return in 2025 with Housefull 5 and Welcome To The Jungle, both alongside Akshay Kumar.
