Beauty queen-turned-actress, Jacqueline Fernandez, is in a good play career-wise right now.

She might not have made a mark on the industry when she first entered it, but a few hits like Housefull 2 have certainly caused her to catch the eye of different film-makers. And now, the super success of her last film — ‘Race 2’, which is directed by Abbas-Mustan and also stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Amisha Patel — has given her reason to smile again.

Apart from the blockbuster, which recently crossed the coveted Rs 100-crore mark at the box office, there’s another reason that Jacqueline is so content — the leggy lass recently decided to turn vegan, and can’t stop raving about the positive changes she feels in her body.

In fact, she’s been urging everyone — from family members to friends and fans — to go vegan for the 40 days of Lent ( the fasting period before Easter) as well. “I went vegan, and I’ve never felt better. Now, I want to share that wonderful feeling with everybody I know,” Jacqueline raves about her present diet.

“Going vegan is the best thing you can do to help stop animal suffering, protect the environment and safeguard your own health — and Lent is the perfect time to start,” adds the actress, who is a well-known supporter of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
