Born on 31 January 1992, Jackson’s career is defined by her seamless transition from a teenage beauty queen in the United Kingdom to a leading lady in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada films, before expanding her repertoire to American and British productions. Her most celebrated performances include the historical drama Madrasapattinam (2010), the action-comedy Singh Is Bliing (2015), the blockbuster Theri (2016), and the sci-fi spectacle 2.0 (2018), earning her accolades such as an Ananda Vikatan Cinema Award, a SIIMA Award, and a London Asian Film Festival award.

Jackson’s journey into the limelight began in 2007 when, at just 14 years old, she launched her modeling career in the UK, working with prestigious designers like Hugo Boss, Carolina Herrera, JW Anderson, Bulgari, and Cartier. Her crowning as Miss Teen World in 2009 proved to be a pivotal moment, as it caught the attention of casting directors who summoned her to London to audition for the lead role in the Tamil period film Madrasapattinam.
