ARJUN'S AUTOGRAPH ON MY SISTER'S ARM:


RANI(i was the 1st 1 to spot her, she was tryin to sneak out while every1 was crowding SRK, and i ran to her, and she sees me running, and she's like, "NO, NO, NO, THE SHOW'S BEEN DELAYED!" B4 she cud even finish the sentence, my mom had grabbed her by the neck and forced her to take a pic. U CAN SEE SHE'S TRYING TO GET MY MOM OFF EVEN IN THE PIC!) it was the fastest thing ever! THE funny part was that when she came back from the concert, she still didn't stop for any1, so what show was delayed then???? and OMG, we have it on video, rt when she came back from the concert, my mom tried pulling her agn, but u guys shud see the face expression on rani, she runs to her body guard like she's totally terrified of my mom, it's hilarious!)

PREITY!(SHE PISSED ME OFF THE MOST! she came out of the elevator, and wudn't even look @ us when she came out. and she was like, "HI, HELLO in her manly voice to everyone, as if sum1 wud shoot her if she didn't do that much! all the ppl started screaming @ her, "it's not like we're here for u anyways!"(i was 1 of them) it was hilarious!

PRIYANKA(she's sorta in b/w, cuz she wasn't really rude to anybody, she just told this one guy not to touch her when he tried getting a pic w/her, cuz i guess they cud start crap abt her, i don't think it was anything serious though. and when we asked for an autograph, she was gonna give us 1, but my sis didn't have a pen ready!)

SAIF( he gave me an autograph as he was running by, and i went after him to try and get a pic w/him, but i saw him push this 1 dude out of his way, REALLY, REALLY HARD, so i didn't go near him)

SRK(same w/him, i'm not so sure if he was really mean, but i think it was his bodyguards!!!! this dumb gora was his bodyguard, and he wudn't let any1 near him. my mom almost pulled srk's arm off when she pulled him back to try and get a pic, and he didn't do anything, but his dumb bodyguard pushed my mom off really hard! and a lot of ppl blocked his elevator doorway so he cudn't go up, cuz he wudn't stop for any1, but they called the police guys to come and move the crowd out of the way! OH, BUT MY SIS DID GIVE HIM A CARD THAT WE HAD MADE HIM, AND SAID THANK U VERY MUCH, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE IT WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM THE CONCERT LIKE ARJUN DID!)

ARJUN(omg, i gave him a card b4 he left for the concert AND HE TOUCHED THE SIDE OF MY FACE WITH HIS HAND IN THE MOST LOVING MANNER, I ALMOST DIED! and when he came back he still had MY CARD, and when he saw me, he was like, that was a lovely card, u see i recognized you. when he was leaving he said, "you guys are awesome!" the best part is that i have it all on video! I THINK HE'S THE SWEETEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED!!!!!!)

i do know for a fact that the casting couch does exist!

here's what happenned:

when i was waiting for the temptations to come out of their hotel(btw, posted the pix in the temptations topic) there were a lot of other indians there. so i went up to 1 that was talking to a camera crew to see what was going on.

he was talking to us, and he was 1 of the guys from zee tv apparently, and he promised that we would have a chance to meet them as long as we stayed near him. he said he was in charge of the candid coverage and he wud go up to their rooms to interview em and all that junk. so i asked if i cud go too, and he said no. so i asked if i made srk and arjun cards, wud he take it to them? and he said sure, in fact he'd even cover us on camera while we were making the cards and interview us afterwards.

so being the naive ppl that we are, we were sure to stay wherever he was. finally the girl from kittie party(who was gonna interview us) came out and got ready. so they shot us making the cards and interviewed us too. once all that was over with, my mom and my sis went up to the girl from kittie party for autographs and pix(my mom watches her soap all the time) and i was left alone at the table finishing the cards.

and the guy in charge cums up to me, and he's like, if i take these cards up to them for u, what r u going to give me in return(w/this sick grin on his face),

and i was like, u sick lil bastard!!!!!! i was sooooooo shocked, i had no clue what to say!!! i was completely dumbstruck, here i am, 16 yrs old, and this sicko 30-sumthing yr old is being a complete BASTARD!!!! i totally freaked out, and he saw it, and he's like, you know, i'm gonna be partying w/the stars tonight, so write down ur phone # for me so that i can let u know. also, tomorrow night, there's going to be a party in this hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I CUDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS!!!!!!!! i freaked out even more, and he's like, rite down ur #.

i can't believe he actually thought i was stupid enuf to give him the #. i mean, i have never been more terrified in my life. and he's like, "But ur sister can't come, bcuz i think she's a minor, and u have to be over 18."

i was like u dumb man, i'm a minor myself, i'm only 16. and i told him to get the hell away from me! i kept my cards and thankfully gave em to the stars by myself, when they came out!

oh, and it so turned out, that the stars hadn't even allowed them in their rooms for interviews. they came back down the elevators, and waited w/every1 else for them to come down, and then begged them for interviews. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME, HOW CUD THESE GIRLS LIVE WITH IT!!!!!

Celina Jaitley

[ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2002 09:56:13 PM ]

The light eyed lady with an hourglass figure, Celina Jaitley was definitely a crowd puller in the Femina Miss India contest. Little wonder then that she walked away with all the laurels and the precious title too. Now, this stunning young lady has won the fourth runner-up title at the Miss Universe contest.


Having modeled for a while before the contest, the world of glamour and style were not all that alien to her. But her real aim was to be a pilot. Of course now she will fly a totally different plane. As Celina looks forward to scaling greater heights, she is all set for a new innings in life.

This commerce graduate from Indira Gandhi National Open University is a dreamer and is determined to carve out a politically strong position in this big bad world. This 5' 6" beauty from Calcutta has been a part of ramp shows as well as TVCs. Besides the beauty pageants, she is preparing for the Combined Defense Services examination and shows keen interest in joining the Armed Forces. A lady with grit, Celina looks at life positively and believes in giving her best shot.
.
She hopes to work on social issues with a major thrust on helping the sexually abused children. With the Femina crown on her head and the Margo Miss Beautiful Skin and MTV's Most Wanted under her belt, and with her poise and beauty, she is ready to win the world.

With Celina Jaitley

Too many rumours, too many allegations.Celina Jaitley is ready to tackle them head on. At home on a wet evening, Celina is in the mood for some sraight talk. On men movies and more.


I'm not interested in Sanjay Narang
Frankly, these rumours linking me with Sanjay Narang have become something of a joke. I don't know who started this
nonsense. All I know is that I have nothing to do with him.


I didn't break up Sushmita Sen's relationship and I have no idea who did. Keep me out of it. As far as I'm concerned, Sanjay is Sushmita's boyfriend. Full stop. I've met Sanjay on three or four occasions. I had some problems and he helped me out.


The problem is that Sanjay has a bad reputation with women and it precedes him. If Sanjay is interested in me, I'm not aware of it. I'm certainly not interested in him.


I'm told that his camp is going around spreading these rumours. That's disgusting. Earlier too, he had made a statement about me and I didn't take kindly to it.


What's sad is that these rumours have strained my warm friendship with Sushmita. Her mom and my aunt went to the same school. When she came to Mumbai, she stayed with my aunt in this very house. Now there's tension even between the families. I just hope Sushmita realises that I wouldn't stab her in the back. I'm not that sort of a girl.


I didn't go to Trinidad to see Sachin Tendulkar
The weirdest rumour that I heard about myself was that I was seeing Sachin Tendulkar when he was on the West Indies
tour. It was reported that I'd gone to Trinidad to watch him play. Now that was ridiculous considering I've never even met the
man. I had a hearty laugh when I read that because I was skiing in Switzerland at the time and I have pictures to prove it. Please, I'm not interested in attached or married men.


Indian men don't appeal to me
Really, I don't have a thing for Indian men. And especially not industry men. However educated or broadminded they
may be, deep down they're all chauvinists. I've yet to meet an Indian male who isn't.


I'm a very independent woman--I've educated myself, I've been living on my own since I was 17. Indian men are intimidated by such women. I've seen men shy away from me after one or two meetings. In fact, women pay me more compliments than men. Wherever I go, it is women who tell me how beautiful I am.


In fact, there's this princess from Kuwait who keeps calling me and sending me gifts. I have a tough time shaking her off. I've
told her I'm not interested in women but she doesn't seem to get the message.


Right now, I'm waiting for the right man. I have a few guy friends abroad. I enjoy their company and we really have a great time when we get together. But I haven't decided who will be that special one for me.


Feroz Khan is a gem of a person to work for
I'm doing three movies with Feroz Khan. Jaanasheen, Shaadi.com and a third one which will be announced soon. I'm
often told that I've made a mistake signing three films with Feroz Khan. But I don't see it that way.


See, life is not about just success. Besides, who am I? I don't come with a Miss Universe crown. I have no credentials. So isn't Mr Feroz Khan taking a risk by signing me for three movies? Frankly, I couldn't have asked for anything better.


Feroz Khan has been very professional in his dealings with me. Besides, he's been a good paymaster. Jaanasheen will definitely be a dream debut for me.


It's a dog-eat-dog industry
I'm really excited about my innings in the movies. But 'm not here just to make a quick buck and get out. I want to
make it here. I want to work with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. I don't want to make any wrong moves.


Right now, I'm just following my heart. I love facing the camera, I love putting on the make-up, wearing good clothes and I'm a pretty good actress too. But let the audience be the judge of that. I feel I'll make a good prima donna.


I know it won't be easy--there's a lot of competition out here. It's a dog-eat-dog industry. You have to be on your toes
constantly and you can't afford to lower your guard. But I feel there's enough work for all of us; there's no need to fight or
compete with anyone.


I wore a bikini for a music video. So what?
I did the music video for Jazzy B on an impulse last year. I had just come back from the Miss Universe contest, my
movies hadn't started, I wanted a change of scene. Yes, I wore a bikini in the video. Well, if you've got it, why not flaunt it?


I've been told that it'll harm my career. But I don't see how. I have no problems with exposing on the screen as long as it's done aesthetically. I've worn bikinis in Jaanasheen too. But Feroz Khan has shot these scenes with a lot of taste. I know the more you flaunt out here, the more they want. But I know when to put my foot down.


I don't drink, I don't do wild parties
I haven't ever been to any wild parties. I haven't ever attended any film party except the one Fardeen threw on his birthday.


And I really wonder who's been spreading these rumours that I drink a lot. I certainly don't drink. Okay, so I do have an
occasional glass of wine. But that's not drinking. The thing is that I have a lot of gay friends who booze a lot. So most of the
time, I have to look after them when they are drunk.

If I don't make it here, I have a back-up plan
I've planned my life carefully. I want to give my best shot to the movies and Jaanasheen will decide whether I have it in me or not. I intend going to Geneva for further studies; I want to study International Relations.


Frankly, I don't see myself spending my entire life in the movies. I want to get married. I want to have kids. I want to settle abroad. I want to work for the UNO. I have a lot of plans for myself. Once I build my parents a home and buy myself a Mercedes, I'll be set to put my plans into action.

Celina Jaitley: Boots ahead!

INDIATIMES MOVIES



We haven't heard much about the Jaitley babe ever since 'Khel' lost major points at the B.O. But we hear she's been globe-trotting a lot recently; be it on her outdoor shoots or her shows abroad, Celina's on the move! Or, shall we say, on the ‘heel’? For wherever the lady goes, her fetish for footwear follows her. Even when embroiled in the frantic pace of a world tour, Celina managed to pinch in some free time to go on a shoe shopping spree. Telling us about her shoes-strung obsession, the lady said, "I already have 850 pairs of shoes stocked away at home. There's no place in the house for me to live. My Dad's already given me a warning, that only one of us can stay at home - me or my shoes. Yet, when it comes to shoes, I can't resist!" So what if the actress doesn't have a kitty of hits to boast of so far? At least we can say she's boots ahead of the rest!
