Asked whether she would consider returning to Oman to shoot a film in the future ahead of the fashion show, she said: “Yeah, I think it would be great. They are genuinely nice people actually, very friendly, and I think it would be a great place to shoot.” “I was in Oman earlier for Filmfare Oman, and the drive from the airport to the hotel took about an hour and we passed through a really beautiful landscape. I have never seen such scenery in the GCC and the next time I go to Oman, I will definitely try and do a bit more of the touristy things,” she added.
Regarding the brand, she said: “Splash does a lot of work in terms of giving back and sustainable fashion. They are a big inspiration, and I am extremely proud to be working with such a brand. There are brands that people want to be working with, and that really matters to me.”
Raza Beig, Director of Landmark Group and CEO of Splash said: Jacqueline is “Young, vibrant, happy, and has all the qualities that the brand ambassador needs.”
