Jacqueline Fernandez, who recently stepped into the small screen as a judge on 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' season nine, is finding her job difficult due to the bond she shares with the contestants.
"I was nervous initially. But now, with time I am getting lot more comfortable. I am having loads of fun now. I am becoming very friendly with the contestants, so it is becoming very difficult now to judge them. It like, you become very attached to them," said the 'Dishoom' star during a media interaction yesterday.
For Jacqueline, "giving scores is the most difficult part of judging."
When the actress was asked about her favourite contestant, she replied that she finds Shantanu Maheshwari of 'Dil Dosti Dance' fame to be very cute.
Her fondness for Shantanu was also visible in the first episode of the season.
On the work front, other than enjoying her reality show days, the 30-year-old actress is also rejoicing the success of her recently-released flick 'Dishoom' that made a business of Rs. 42.17 crore in the Box Office.
