Celina Jaitleys sex appeal is still raising eyebrows. What gives?
Bikini-clad actresses are wooing viewers by the dozen these days. But it wasnt like that when I started, says Celina Jaitley,who bore much criticism for sporting a bikini in her debut Janasheen. The film bombed while Jaitleys glam-doll reputation precedes her histrionics.
A bee-stung pout,hazel eyes,peachy skin and hips you could spread a buffet on,the model-turned-actor has believed in flaunting her oomph,both on screen and off it. Jaitleys ensembles have been stirring in most films,but skin show doesnt miff viewers as much these days. The industry has evolved over the years and the audience has become more understanding. People know that a particular outfit is worn because the script demands it and not because we like to flaunt our body, she laughs.
While were still trying to figure out if the bikini scene in her debut was integral to the script,Jaitley is content with her image. Im not complaining. I believe that the body is the temple of the soul. From being a Miss Universe runner-up to a PETA activist and an actress,I would attribute every achievement to my glamour quotient. No regrets there, she insists,even as she sports a beautiful black mini at the launch of her website mycelinajaitley.com which she says is an attempt at bringing the real Celina to the fore.
Her sex appeal may have kept her in the reckoning,but it is her flair for languages that helped her bag international and vernacular film projects,says the light-eyed beauty. After Janasheen released,I wasnt sure if I wanted to continue with acting or go back to modelling,or defense services. It was my love for learning new languages that made me take up assignment down South, she says. And no sooner than she thought she was doing an English film opposite Australian star Ben Mitchell. Now,I am eagerly waiting March 6 when my film Love Has No Language will be released around the globe, she smiles.
