Bahrain, Jun 9 (Times of India): The long-legged actress has been dating Sheikh Hassan bin Rashid Al Khalifa, one of the members of the reigning royal family. Known as 'Shake' among his friends, the 35-year-old prince also has his own rock band named Manakin. Jackie and Hassan met a couple of years ago at a common friend's house party and hit it off instantly. While they've been seeing each other since 2008, sources reveal the two are ready to take their relationship to the next level and there are plans for an engagement.

Jackie's debut film Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai met with a lukewarm response, but she got noticed in Housefull's Dhanno song. "She has several friends in Mumbai. She's close to Riteish Deshmukh and Sajid Khan, with whom she's doing the Housefull sequel. But she has never been linked to anyone because she is serious about Hassan, says a source close to her. "All her friends know about Hassan; she's pretty open about him. However, this development won't be public as Jackie wants to concentrate on her film career and do more films. She doesn't want her private life to jeopardise her professional ambitions.

Hassan, who started his music label two years ago, is also focussing on his music career to become a full-fledged rock artiste.
