The ravishing Jacqueline Fernandez may be a self-confessed fitness freak, but the former Miss Sri Lanka believes that she’s setting a good example for the youths who look up to her.

“Celebrities have influence over their followers and fans, especially young children. And for me, setting a good example in terms of health and fitness is more important than looking good or being fashionable.”

The actress also says that when she doesn’t stick to her fitness regime, she ends up feeling terrible.

“A lot of times, when I don’t feel like going to the gym, or when I gain weight, I think, ‘Ohh no! There are so many kids who see me as a role model,’ and I don't want to set the wrong example for them. I think fitness is important,” she adds.
