To everyone's surprise, Jacqueline Fernandez's film, 'Tell It Like a Woman' song, 'Applause', is nominated for Best Original Song and will now compete against 'RRR' song, 'Naatu Naatu'.
The ever-so-gorgeous actress, Jacqueline Fernandez is once again in the headlines and slowly leading the trending charts on social media. However, this time around, it is not related to her alleged involvement in the 200 crore money laundering case or association with the conman, Sukesh Chandrasekhar. On January 25, 2023, it was officially announced that the feature film, Tell It Like A Woman’s song, Applause, has been nominated in the Best Original Song category at the upcoming Academy Awards.
As soon as the international media broke the news, Jacqueline Fernandez quickly shared the wonderful news with her fans in India, as it was an instrumental success for her. The actress shared a screengrab of a picture from Variety in which we can spot all the nominations in the Best Original Song category at the 95th Academy Awards. The songs featured in the list were Hold My Hand (Top Gun Maverick), Lift Me Up (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), This Is a Life (Everything Everywhere All At Once), and Naatu Naatu (RRR).

It is indeed a monumental success for Indian cinema to see its stars and stories making an impact on global cinema.
