I have faced racism as a white girl in bollywood: Amy Jackson





Amy Jackson, Prateik Babbar,
In a current interview to The Sun, Amy Jackson confesses her massive movie star status in India makes her feel like a princess. The Liverpool beauty has her own make-up artist, personal assistant, cook, driver, dance and language teachers in India.
Amy tells she cannot walk freely in the streets of Mumbai as she will be mobbed by her legions of loving fans. In fact, she describes her life in India as a mad whirlwind. But, she does not mind it as she has met the love of her life in co-star Prateik Babbar, with whom she lives together.
Amy also discloses there is a darker side to Bollywood. She tells she has faced racism as a white foreign girl in a bitchy and competitive industry. Amy confesses she receives nasty messages on Twitter especially from the older generation. Yet she is counting her blessings and tells she must be the luckiest girl in the world to reach where she has today.

The new Barbie doll is Amy Jackson!




Amy Jackson, who made her Bollywood debut with "Ekk Deewana Tha" opposite Prateik, has been approached by leading doll company Barbie to launch a series of dolls inspired by her.
"Amy has been a big name in the UK for couple of years. She was modelling before Bollywood happened to her. She has always wanted to act and it was a stroke of luck that she got a break in Bollywood. The company approached her recently, after they saw some pictures of her and thought that she fit the bill," told a source close to Amy.
The 21-year-old won Miss Teen World competition in 2008. She is told to be excited with the offer.
"Katrina was a very well-known name when the company approached her but expressing interest in Amy was a surprise to us. She is a tall, petite girl with delicate features and they thought she was the right fit for a doll to be designed on her," the source further added.
The brand reveals that there will be a US as well as Indian special edition of the dolls. The US edition will be out in August, after which the Indian edition will be unveiled.
