Celina Jaitly

"I entered the fashion industry at a very young age (15) after being scouted at an army party. The struggles that one went through in a new and upcoming fashion industry in a not-so-open-minded Kolkata were not easy, plus the pressure of studies & competitive exams made my entire teenage a journey of hard work and toil. I also suffered from severe acne and very severe endometriosis and had to be hospitalised almost every month during my Menstruation due to severe dysmenorrhea and blood loss so it was an incredibly intense life for a child who had many dreams and aspirations. While others would enjoy weekends I would take up shoot and ramp show offers in Kolkata and work for meagre amounts of monies," she wrote.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial)She also spoke about how she was criticised for being "too white.""Many a time I wouldnt even end up getting paid for my hard work and unauthorised use of images due to lack of industry regulations. Then there was the constant criticism and rejection either I was too white, too thin, not tall enough or too tall etc. For many years I had to hear many derogatory things about all the things that made me unique and go on despite that. For a child in her teens it was truly overwhelming hence the journey to the crown was a very intense one," she added.Towards the end of the note, she said beauty is a "powerful tool of persuasion," and added that she is thankful for the opportunity to represent the country on various platforms - as an actor, brand ambassador and activist."Crowns... after all are not made of sparkling stones, they are made of sheer determination, strength, dedication, devotion, struggle and immense courage too. Beauty is a 'Powerful Tool of Persuasion' & I am so thankful for having the opportunity to represent my country on various platforms as an actor, brand ambassador UN equality champion and activist. Having said that: Being beautiful is not being born beautiful It is striving, lifelong to live & achieve your maximum potential as a human being. #celinajaitly #missuniverse," she concluded.Celina made her Bollywood debut with the film 'Janasheen', which also starred the late Feroz Khan and his son Fardeen Khan. She also appeared in films like 'No Entry', 'Apna Sapna Money Money' and 'Golmaal Returns'.

Recently the actor was trolled for allegedly 'ditching' her Indian roots. She posted a picture of her at the scenic backdrop of Austria. In a long tweet, Celina wrote, "One of the best things that I have learnt living in Austria is living with the goal of a life in agreement with nature. While I live in a scenic historic village in the very high altitude alpine area of central Austria I do often take trips to the bigger cities like Graz, Vienna & Salzburg for some "ME Time". These historic cities have tiny beautiful lanes that tell tales of centuries & going through them is like a journey snaking through time periods, from past into present the only drawback however is finding a place to park. While I only feel most comfortable driving all terrain SUVs One of my favourite things to do is rent this amazing two-seat electric microcar & enjoy a day of European city pleasures while feeling good about my carbon footprint ( and finding the best parking spots) Austria is considered to be the environmental flagship of Europe and I have learnt so many wonderful things here. Not only have I grown so much in Austria, I regained my soul in its nature, Hence contributing to its fairyland nature and environment I feel like I am protecting my own soul. #celinajaitly #CelinaJaitley #austria #LabourDay"One of the best things that I have learnt living in Austria is living with the goal of a life in agreement with nature.

Thats what called half baked knowledge. You want to live with the nature you dont go Austria but you go to india. Living with fancy battery car, fancy shoes jackets etc.. This is western hypocrisy."Chitaji my clothes & Shoes are Made in India. Husband and kids are made in Austria. This is not hypocrisy its globalisation. PS: Dil and passport donoN Hindustani. #celinajaitly Celina Jaitly (@CelinaJaitly) May 3, 2023Giving a solid punch to the netizen, Celina replied to the tweet, "Chitaji my clothes & Shoes are Made in India.... Husband and kids are made in Austria. This is not hypocrisy it's globalisation. PS: Dil and passport dono Hindustani."Few days back, Celina reacted to a troll who claimed that she had "slept with Fardeen Khan, Feroz Khan."

On July 27, businessman Raj Kundra was sent to judicial custody for 14 days for his involvement in producing adult films. While a lot of celebrities have been named in the controversy one such celebrity who got embroiled in this is Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley. According to the speculations she was one of the celebrities approached by Raj Kundra for his adult film app. Reports also say that big celebrities like Neha Dhupia, Kim Sharma, and Nora Fatehi were also asked to be involved in it.According to the sources, Celina Jaitley's agent has refused any kind of involvement of hers in Raj Kundras app. Instead, the agent claimed that she was asked to feature in Shilpa Shetty's entertainment streaming app named JL Stream (Jaldi Live). The agent also revealed that she has no knowledge of the HotShots app and only because she is a close friend of Shilpa Shetty she was approached to feature in JL Stream (Jaldi Live).Celina's delegate also said that she could not be a part of the JL stream because of prior work commitments and not only her but many other B-town celebrities were asked to feature as the app focused on delivering quality live streaming, gaming & entertainment content to people.Raj Kundra claimed the content on his app to be steamy and not porn during his questioning at Bombay High Court and also pronounced his arrest as illegal. Actress and wife Shilpa Shetty Kundra also agreed with her husband's statements and said that the app features erotic content and does not fall in the category of porn.

Although she has been away from Bollywood all this while, if there is one thing that the actress has always been in news for, it is for her work towards the LGBTQI community. Let us tell you that Celina Jaitly has been an active supporter of them and has always raised her voice in favor of them. With the government too changing its outlook towards this community and their rights, Ram Kamal Mukherjee has decided to dedicate a film celebrating the work of openly gay filmmaker Rituparna Ghosh. And this will be Celina Jaitlys comeback film. Everyone who is aware of Celina Jaitly and her staunch support that has never wavered towards the LGBTQIA wouldnt be surprised at the actress choice to make this her comeback film. Speaking on her decision, the actress not only expressed her excitement of doing this Ram Kamal film but also added that when she heard the story she got goosebumps. Considering that she has been associated with this cause for over 18 years, she was more than happy to come on board. Elaborating on the film, Mukherjee has revealed in reports that it is a celebration of Rituparna Ghoshs body of work and touches upon some of his best creations. Primarily revolving around a mother-daughter relationship, the film features Lillette Dubey as Celinas mother. Furthermore, she was also all praise for Mukherjees work and recalled the first time when she met him in Egypt. She lauded his knowledge and skills and also mentioned that she will be shooting in Kolkata for the first time. On the other hand, Celina Jaitly also spoke about her story in recent reports as to what prompted her to support the cause for LGBTQIA. Revealing her story in these reports, she confessed about dating a closet gay when she was 16 years old. She obviously soon realized that he was gay and also mentioned that he died due to bulimia induced stroke. Also, she mentioned about her transgender makeup artist who died in a road accident. All these incidents had pushed her towards the cause of doing some good work for them and thats how Celina became a social activist of sorts for their community.

Just a few days ago Celina Jaitly expressed her happiness over her pregnancy and has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of her second pair of twins. However, news of her fathers demise has not only left the actress in shock and Celina recently flew down to India for the same. Reportedly, Celinas father VK Jaitly has been unwell for a while and he was in critical condition of late. He breathed his last on July 2 after which a pregnant Celina flew down to Indore from Dubai to perform the last rites. The actress is currently in her second trimester and is due for delivery in October.Celina tied the knot with Peter Haag in 2011 and had delivered her first kids, twins Viraaj and Winston Haag in 2012.

Celina Jaitly, who recently turned mother to her third son Arthur, talked about facing earthquake tremors in Dubai, a consequence of one of the deadliest earthquakes that happened in Iraq and Iran. While it took the lives of many in these nations, the tremors were even felt as far as Turkey and Pakistan, claim reports. On Monday morning Celina Jaitly, who was woken up by these tremors, was in for a shock when she found her floor moving and her chandeliers shaking. She decided to take to Twitter to ask her fellow residents about the tremors as she went on to post, Is anyone elses residence in Dubai swaying ? Our chandeliers, floor everything is moving ???? Evacuating now While the magnitude of the earthquake was much lesser in these regions, it has ravaged several parts of Iraq and Iran. On the other hand, her tweet had created a sense of panic amongst her loved ones who constantly enquired about her well-being on the same platform. Jailty went on to reassure them about her and her familys safety saying, We hear it was a mild aftershock from Iraq apparently.. kids were quite shaken all ok now, back home safe thank God..big hug DD Thank you. At the same time, Celina also expressed her condolences to the Iraq and Iran victims saying, It was a mild aftershock which shook us,but my heart goes out to the actual victims cannot even imagine their horror & loss #Earthquake.

By now we all know that actress Celina Jaitley was expecting her second pair of twins with husband Peter Haag. Though the actress welcomed her twins into the world on September 10, yesterday she took to Facebook sharing a bitter sweet note about them. Talking about her twins and their birth, Celina revealed their names and also the bitter news of having to lose one child due to a congenital heart defect. Posting a heartfelt message on her Facebook profile Celina expressed her sorrow and her joy to her fans. ANNOUNCING THE BITTERSWEET ARRIVAL OF OUR 2nd SET OF TWINS When it rains look for rainbows, when its dark look for stars My dearest friends, beloved fans and followers. On the auspicious occasion of Dusshera we would like to take this opportunity to share with you all the following bittersweet news. The Gods above have blessed us yet again with another set of very handsome twin boys Arthur Jaitly Haag and Shamsher Jaitly Haag in Dubai on 10th September 2017. However, life is not always how we plan it to be. Our son Shamsher Jaitly Haag succumbed to a serious heart condition and could not continue his journey in this world. Heartbreaking as that is we are very fortunate that a part of him still lives with us through Arthur, whose face will always remind us that an angel who looks exactly like him looks upon us from the arms of his grandfather, my father, in the heavens above, whom we also lost two months ago. The last two months have been a tumultuous journey for us from loosing my beloved father and now baby Shamsher, however there is always a light at the end of a tunnel, and that light for us is our handsome son Arthur Jaitly Haag who seeks your blessings and love in his journey that he commences in this world. We thank you all in advance for your love and continued support. Sending love, immense gratitude and very Happy Dussehra wishes your way. Celina & Peter

The manner in which Kareena Kapoor Khan maintained herself and also flaunted her bump during public appearances during her pregnancy last year caught a lot of attention. It also made it clear that it is completely normal and one shouldnt shy oneself from facing the world and exhibiting the bodily changes. The other actress who went a step further is Celina Jaitly. The actress who is currently expecting did a risqu photoshoot. In the picture, she was completely nude but her assets were wittily covered as she was in a bathtub. Her baby bump however was visible and the picture on the whole made quite an impact. The trolls can be quite shameless with their comments on the internet. Hence, Celina Jaitly was prepared for it. However, the magnitude of comments and also the kind of insults she faced shocked her. She wrote a long post on Facebook to express her displeasure. She also made it clear that not just men but even women have slut-shamed her and giving rape threats to her and becoming unruly violent in thought is not the correct way to discuss in a civilized society. Heres what she wrote on her Facebook wall: GOOD GOD IS THAT Shoulders, arms AND TUMMY?! Oh wait even a peeking knee cap. MY EYES ARE BURNING WITH THE SLUTINESS.!!! Upon posting a recent pregnancy picture in a bathtub with a message condemning the stereotype associated with pregnant women and their bodies in our culture, clicked by my beloved Peter Haag for MissMalini.com I was surprised to see what followed next. While I did receive a lot of love, my social media feeds on my Instagram, Twitter & FB Fan Page turned into a battle ground of trolls vs like-minded followers & well-wishers. Having been perceived to violate traditional expectations for behaviour & dress code during pregnancy, it was not surprising to see trolling/slut shaming on my post and honestly to me they truly are laughable and dont affect me personally However, what disturbed me was the aspect that even in todays times an immense growth is being seen in this kind of regressive mentality and how some people driven by this ideology are willing to intimidate a woman (even a pregnant woman) using a considerable amount of verbal violence along with intentions of sexual violence just because the picture did not meet the traditional and cultural expectations of a few self-proclaimed thekedars of our society. Funnily enough the bathtub picture actually shows less skin than most of the outfits that me and many of my colleagues have worn for several of our films. While men do slut shame, often women are the strongest cultural enforcers of slut-shaming, you will see that when you go to my Instagram account. Its amazing that slut shaming is rarely about actual sexual activity, but rather perceived sexuality through clothes or attitudes. In my case despite only a bit of the tummy shoulders & knee showing I realised smilingly that what bothered the Shamers was what was not that was visible in the bathtub picture but what was perceived to be visible through their demented imagination. My observation is that, the Shamers were immensely uncomfortable more from the parts of my body that were covered by the water, and were apparently definitely nude, making their imaginations run in all directions which of course were against all social norms. Hence in our culture with such an assumption one automatically gains the rights to call a woman a slut, a bitch a whore, and of course it is also shockingly ok to even punish her by rape and sexually torment such a woman as per many comments on my picture on Instagram, twitter, FB and Miss Malini and many other websites. Ironically enough most of the perpetrators of such verbal violence are also women themselves & unfortunately many women fail to realise that to make progressive attempts for their own evolution, they have to start changing the way they view themselves, and other women too. In our culture one thing is for sure the only way one expresses disapproval is through verbal or physical violence, there is no scope for resolution, solution or general discussion or using civilised language to express disapproval. I fail to understand why does something (like my so called against the Indian social norms bathtub picture) which does not agree to ones taste or liking have to become a candidate for any kind of violenceBoth physical and verbal sexual violence is not only criminally an offence in the real world but what really worries me is the fact that in our culture so many people (both men & women) tend to have the intention to resort to sexual, verbal & physical violence to punish one for something makes them uncomfortable. Specially to think that there are so many people who feel its ok to harm a pregnant woman or for that matter any woman with physical, sexual & verbal abuse. No wonder violence against women has increased in our country because such narcissistic people are actually allowed to have a voice and practice their regressive and delinquent thought processes and ideologies. Slut-shaming is not funny, it is dangerous, hurtful, disrespectful and harmful to women. Its important to question society when they expect women to behave in ways that men are not expected to. While many of my colleagues for their own reasons may have chosen to keep quiet when they too went through the same, I take it as my social responsibility to speak up against it. My intention as an actor, a beauty queen a human rights activist and most of all as a a mother has always been to empower , encourage & break social stigmas through my blessed platform. All I can say is that if you are being slut-shamed remember that it is not your fault. The problem is with the way in which many people are socially conditioned to think about women. However, ending on a positive note..a big thank you to my many followers who stood up to all the abuse. I am overwhelmed by their support and love and most of all I am so proud to see that my beloved followers have a voice that is right and that their values and hearts are in the right place.

Although there are slim chances of Celina Jaitly returning to Bollywood, the former actress has been in the news for her work towards the LGBTQ community. The actress however is thrilled to share the news of her second pregnancy and is expected to deliver twins again. Celina Jaitly, who is married to entrepreneur Peter Hag, is in her second trimester and the former Bollywood actress is super thrilled about the arrival of her babies. However, when she had been for sonography, the couple was quite taken aback when they were told that they would be having twins again. Readers may recall that Celina and Peter are already proud parents of twins Winston and Viraaj. Talking about the news, Celina revealed that during her ultrasound test, her husband Peter had asked the doctor if it was twins and the doctor confirmed the same. Whilst they were taken aback initially, the couple later on expressed that they were exhilarated by the news and Celina also added that she truly believes that they are the chosen one and also exclaimed about how much they love kids. Abiding by her mothers advice, Celina also believes that there is no perfect way to be a good mother or father but there are million ways to be a good parent. She also asserted about the way her husband is supportive and how he has been giving his 100 percent being a dedicated father. She also stated that she feels more patient, complete and sexier than ever. On the work front, Celina Jaitly mentioned that she will soon return to India for shooting an ad campaign. Besides this, she is also working on a book that will release next year but she hasnt divulged any plans of returning to Bollywood.

In India guests are equivalent to God.

Not for Celina Jaitly anymore. Her experience of renting out her place in Mumbai to Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber could put anyone off hospitable behavior forever.

According to Celina after renting her home, the couple reduced it to shambles and refused to hand back the place to Celina when she needed it the most. "I had to stay in a hotel with my 2 1/2 year old twin sons because Sunny Leone and her husband wouldn't vacate my place. They had no legal ground to keep possession of my home," says Celina sorrowfully.

The locks of Celina's home had to be finally broken for Celina to re-possess her home. "And to think that I rented them my home out of compassion. No one was willing to give accommodation to Sunny and her insufferably arrogant and rude husband. I agreed. Only to regret my decision." The tenancy battle is far from over. Celina is exploring the legal possibilities of bringing the couple to task.

"What they've done to my house amounts to plunder and destruction. It's a like a Tsunami has passed through my once-beautiful penthouse. All my antique furniture was dismantled and dumped on the open terrace to rot. Brand new teak shelves were ripped off. Holes were drilled into the walls to install CCT cameras without our permission. Even the refrigerator and washing machine were damaged. I have to say Ms. Leone and her husband maintained very low hygiene standards." It was the maidservant who told Celine and her husband that the couple used only one room and left the rest of the home unused.

"If that was the case, why did they rent such a large penthouse? They should've rented a one-room apartment. And if they agreed to our terms and conditions why did they later turn into such filthy bullying tenants? They gave us hell refusing to vacate our home until we returned their deposit money of Rs. 5 lakhs. But our contention was simple: give us back our home in the condition that they rented it," says Celina.

The sordid story actually begins when after Sunny's two-year lease for Celina's house ended and soon after, Celina, who is now Dubai-based, expressed a desire to take re-possession of their home.

"My husband Peter who has no time to spare sweetly agreed to accompany me and the twins to Mumbai to take possession our home. Sunny's husband Daniel declined to be present during the re-possession, as per law. He offered to send his representative. To this Peter agreed. But when we reached our home, the person we saw representing our tenants was their house maid!" Celina exclaims in disbelief.

There began a cat and mouse game between Daniel Weber and Celina with the latter apparently unwilling to show any grace to his landlady.

"Daniel is an unbelievably arrogant man. He sent my husband such rude emails. I don't know Sunny Leone. But I felt sorry for her, for where she came from. And I generously rented our home to her and husband. Is this how they repay my generosity? Daniel Weber is a foreigner and yet he has been threatening and bullying me through his representatives," says Celina, shuddering at the thought of ever renting her home again.

"Sunny Leone and her husband have chalked out specific roles for themselves in Mumbai and the film industry. She plays the Good Cop. He plays the Bad Cop. Playing their games they've pissed off the entire entertainment industry in Mumbai. Would I ever be willing to offer accommodation to a foreigner again? I don't think so. I am generous. But I am not stupid," ends Celina with a sigh of gratitude for having got her home back, albeit in a shambles.

When asked to comment on Celina's allegations Daniel Weber reverted, "We don't respond to garbage news put out by other celebs to bash us to gain self-publicity. Comments about me are baseless, and don't concern me or Sunny. We are here to work and we are busier than ever. That's all that matters."
