Jacqueline Fernandez, who was shooting in Ottawa for her international film, was confined to her hotel for two days after a shootout in the Canadian capital. The shooting near Parliament Hill led to the entire city being locked down, with the government announcing a red alert requesting civilians to stay put at their respective locations.

Confirming the news says Jacqueline, "We were about to start shooting, when we were informed that we can`t travel as there had been a shootout in the city. The main gates of the hotel were locked so that no one could go out. We were locked in for two days and kept watching the news to stay updated, and were only hoping that everyone would be safe and no lives were lost. "
