B-grade bollywood actress' publicity stunt alleges that Pak cricketers 'abused' her

This certainly isn't cricket. Actress Celina Jaitley alleged that cricketers from across the border abused her after she performed at the Indian Cricket League (ICL) match between Pakistan and India.

On Sunday, Celina 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, who was seen in films like "No Entry" and "Shakalaka Boom Boom", told IANS.

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

On the face of it, sounds like a complete cock-and-bull story, just to sensationalize. To expect well-known cricketers to make a public spectacle like this is absurd. Yes, some of them can be stupid, but none of them can be this crazy, to do it in public and possibly in front of television cameras. A complete blah!!

and being already kicked out of the pak cricket, i dont think anyone wud risk his career at the ICL by doing such sort of thing....

Talk about harassment.... here is another proof, that men will remain men.. Indian players at their best!!

What a bunch of crap. If she was an actress of any sort of repute, I would sympathize. I can't envision this happening when half of the ICL Lahore team is already married with kids and when Maulana Inzi is in charge, but even if it did, I'm pretty sure this wasn't the first time this "actress" was "abused" by the crowd.

If she had an ounce of care about her "izzat", I'm sure she would pay attention to her pathetic acting career and not do "item numbers" in every damn movie that comes out.

Either way, this is a publicity stunt. Stop being so gullible and move on.

you dont get the point or do u...i m nt debating on whether she has izzat or not but wat i m sayin it just because somebody doesnt appear 2 have "izzat" u ridicule her...that actually shows what kind of a person u, yrself are. Its her life n she may do wateva she pleases...heck even i dont find such celebrities likeable and i wud voice my opinion on that when needed but that doesnt give me the right to abuse her.

What a savvy artist Tendulkar is, has a quick look and when the camera arrives he seems disinterested.

**chintu_bhopali** · Apr 2nd, 2008, 10:45 AM
