"I have admired Pooja Bedi since I was in Standard 1. I don't know why Pooja should have spoken on this, when she is no way involved with Fear Factor. Anyway, let her have her fifteen seconds of fame," remarks Celina.

The actress has also sent a legal notice to Endemol saying that she has enough material to prove that the theirl employee was indeed stalking her.

Talking to a leading tabloid Celina tells, "Anand Chavan, has been constantly harassing me to do the show. He sent me flowers and champagne bottles. Also, he sent me several text messages. He even messaged me saying that he is interested in working with me as my 'business manager'."

"I am being mentally harassed. My name has been used to sell a product without my consent. I may not be Ash or Kareena but I am Celina Jaitley, nothing less or more. I have the right to defend my name.

In my notice, I have also demanded that hereafter no employee of Endemol will call and harass me. Endemol is a fine company, but it needs to keep its employees in check," she adds.

Bollywood Gossip - Celina 'abused' by Pak cricketers
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Bollywood Gossip - This certainly isn't cricket. Actress Celina Jaitley has alleged that cricketers from across the border abused her after she performed at an Indian Cricket League (ICL) match.

Bollywood Actress Celina Jaitley had finished her performance and was taking what she calls a "glory round" with her security personnel around the stadium, when she heard loud abuses in Hindi coming out of the players' enclosure.

"At first I couldn't believe where it was coming from. I still want to give them the benefit of doubt because it's so hard to believe they could behave this way," she said with a shudder, recalling that she wanted to rush back to her car and drive away from the nightmare.

"But I couldn't because the security guys wouldn't let me pass. So I was stuck listening to myself being described in the most colourful language," Celina Jaitley, who was seen in films like "No Entry" and "Shakalaka Boom Boom" said.

The ex-Miss India refuses to lay the blame on anyone for the abusive incident, but she does admit that she recognises the Pakistani players because she had participated in a TV interview with them for a sports channel.

She said, "But what hurts and offends me more is the fact that people from our own country have chosen to speak on behalf of those who abused me. As they say, I am 'just another Bollywood actress'. Fine. Does that mean I don't command even the respect that other woman get?"

All in all it hasn't been a very pleasant Easter and Holi weekend for Celina.

"I attended my producer Kumar Mangatji's Holi bash Saturday and then having ensured that I wasn't required for shooting Sunday, I left for Delhi for the ICL, tired and irritable. I had no clue what was waiting for me. And to top it all, I had observed Lent this Easter and was very weak and depleted. This wasn't what I expected," Celina said.

Celina is a child of a mixed marriage. Her father is a Punjabi and her mother is an Afghan.

Bollywood Gossip - I may flaunt but I'm just a Desi girl
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Bollywood Actress Celina Jaitley is all set to stage her grand come back with Ganesh Acharaya directed film, 'Money Hai To Honey Hai', after having disappeared from the scene for some time with her International project 'Love Has No Language'.

Celina Jaitley

When I meet her for this interview at her spacious, but well decorated house in the suburbs, Celina talks in length about the film, and says that it is a story of six friends, who are strugglers in their own respective fields.

"I play a fashion designer, Shruti Pandey who has graduated from NIFT and yet struggles while trying to sell a pattern of her own to export houses", Celina quips at the outset.

The film "Money Hai To Honey Hai", Celina Jaitley states, sets out to drive home the subtle message that today's education system really sucks and how.

"It is a comical representation of today's education system and stars besides me, stars like Govinda, Aftab Shivdasani, Upen Patel, Manoj Bajpai, Ravi Kishen and Hansika Motwani. Each of us has a different background as a struggler in the film".

Yet another film with which Celina is quite excited is Subhash Ghai's 'Hello Darling' in which she plays a young catholic girl called Candy Fernandes. "Candy is a little dumb when people try to talk in double language to her.

The film dwells at length about how it is wrong on the part of people in society today to judge a woman on the basis of what she is wearing. It is a chic film and I enjoyed working with Isha Koppikar and Gul Panag", says Celina.

The actress then hastens to clarify, "Just because there are three women in Hello Darling like there were in Charlie's Angels, it does not mean that you should jump to the conclusion that Hello Darling is a rehash of Charlie's Angels".

Celina states that she can identify herself with the role in Hello Darling completely.

"People feel that I am anglicized and cannot talk in Hindi when the fact is that I am from a Hindi medium school background and very good in Sanskrit and Hindi.

I may flaunt blood costumes on the screen, but am conservative at heart and a very simple and down to earth girl who is rooted to the family".

Celina is happy that she gets to play a comic role in Golmaal Returns. "I am a young well educated girl who is doing her graduation in Microbiology.

Just as Kareena Kapoor's character is named Ekta Kapoor, my character is named Mira Nair, though it has got nothing to do with filmmaker Mira Nair. I have been teamed opposite Shreyas Talpade in the film.

The best thing about Shreyas and me is that we have very good timing to carry off the comedy scenes. I have been a great fan of Sridevi as far as comedy roles are concerned", states Celina.

Celina confesses that she realized that she had a comic streak to her as an actress when she acted in 'No Entry' in which she had a zany comic role.

"After No Entry, I have done a spate of comedy films like Apna Sapna Money Money, Tom Dick & Harry, Money Hai To Honey Hai and now Golmaal Returns"

After Apna Sapna Money Money and Hello Darling, Celina has been repeated in Paying Guest by Mukta Arts. "I am lucky to have been singled out by Ghaisaab for a third film in his production company.

I play a cry baby architect in 'Paying Guest' which by the way is being directed by Paritosh Painter. I have been a fan of Paritosh who comes up with excellent plays.

Besides the Mukta Arts, I have also been signed for a three- film contract by Kumar Mangat, Ashtavinayak and Suneel Darshan"

Celina is quite excited about her recent foray to the West with a film called 'Love Has No Language' directed by Ken Khan.

"I play an Indian Bengali girl brought up in New Zealand. My parents played by Kiran Kumar and Rati Agnihotri are very orthodox and want me to marry an Indian boy of their choice, whereas I am in love with a Kiwi boy.

I am kiwi by nature and hence am stuck between my family and the boy played by Ben Mitchell. with whom I am in love with. It is a modern story"

It is interesting to note that Celina was slated to act in yet another English film called 'Quest of Shehzada'. "However because of the writer's Strike abroad, the film has been kept on hold and the shooting is yet to start.

Though the director is yet to be finalized, Orlando Bloom is being considered as an actor", she states as she concludes. Jyothi Venkatesh

Celina Jaitley in a de-glamorised avatar in Golmaal Returns!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Audiences who have been seeing Celina in her glam roles will now see her in a completely different light as she has been roped in to star opposite Shreyas Talpade in the sequel to Shree Ashtavinayak's hit laugh riot Golmaal, "Golmaal Returns" directed by Rohit Shetty. The actress will be joining the likes of Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and Anjana Sukhani in the lead for the film with supporting cast being Mukesh Tiwari, Murli Sharma, Sanjay Mishra and Vrajesh Hirjee.

Says Rohit Shetty, "We were looking out for a girl who is very glamorous in real life but the role would be that of a completely opposite person in the film. Celina will be playing a very normal, simple and different girl in Golmaal Returns, opposite Shreyas Talpade. She is the sort of girl who for some reason everyone is searching for in the film!"

And when asked why she chose to do this film Celina says, "Rohit and Ashtavinayak have created magic with Golmaal and I loved the film! No way was I going to give up the opportunity of being a part of the magical return of Golmaal!"

Celina harrassed & racially abused!
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
The story of three Marathi actors who were denied entry into a restaurant in a suburban Mumbai's 7-star hotel isn't isolated.

Celina Jaitley recently had a nightmarish experience in the same hotel. "I went into the sports' lounge of this hotel with a gay foreigner friend of mine for just ten minutes.

I saw a tall imposing middleaged German guy making obscene gestures at me. At first I ignored him out of embarrassment. Then he got bolder and came up to me to tell me in German in picturesque detail what he'd like to do to me.

He didn't know I speak German fluently. That was it. I asked the hotel's authorities to deal with the situation, since they hadn't allowed my bodyguard in. Forget about challenging the German lecher they said they didn't know who he was!

Luckily I had seen him sign his room number on his bill."

When the posh hotel's cowardly personnel did nothing to help Celina, she left but returned the next day with three vans of cops, got the man out of his room and confronted him.

"He fell to his knees and cried and begged saying he has a wife and children back home. He should've thought of them when he treated me to such vulgar intentions.

I made him write an apology and then for his family's sake decided not to press charges. The worst thing was, nobody in the hotel wanted to co-opearate with me in dealing with this situation.

Even some of my well-wishers advised me to forget about it. What I want to know is, whom do these hotels cater to?

Are they for us Indians? Or are all the amenities and facilities only for foreigners? Why are foreigners given such blatantly preferential treatment in these posh hotels?"

The actress decided to speak up on the matter after she heard about the humiliation of the Marathi actors who weren't allowed in because of their kolhapure chappals.

"This isn't the first time that such an incident has happened. Some time ago, a dress designer friend of mine requested the same hotel's security to inspect his car in the portico as he didn't want the clothes in the car to get wet in the rain.

There was an argument. They slammed the car bonnet on his hand and fractured it…Don't they care about people who are not foreigners? Are these high-flying places so busy making big bucks that they've forgotten a basic sense of decency?"
