As soon as Jacqueline’s car exited Salman’s residence, a rickshaw with inebriated men started tailing her car. The rickshaw tried coming too close to the actress’ car and lost control colliding with the side of Jacqueline’s car. The incident has left Jacqueline’s car window smashed.
Her car suffered minor damage but she did not suffer any injury. The police were summoned. “The rickshaw driver along with a couple of guys were not in their senses. In an attempt to get too close to Jacqueline’s car they lost control and banged into her car,” added the onlookers, as per the report in The Indian Express.
Directed by Remo D'Souza, Race 3 features Salman, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem and is likely to be released during Eid.
