Celina Jaitley is the most happening and hottest actress in Bollywood. She is a former Miss India and was the fourth runner up in the 2001 Miss Universe Pageant.

Her father is an officer in the Indian army and is from Punjab.

She has a brother and he is also serving in the Indian army. In her childhood she never dreamed about being an actress or a model, instead she wanted to be either a pilot or a doctor in the army. Although she was born in Kabul, she never lived there for long; she grew up in Kolkata, India.

The military family background made her tough and disciplined and she was focused to find her entry point into the military which was in her dream for a long time. But future had different things in store for her and her life took a hard turn and there she was competing in the Miss India contest and she won it in style. But in the Miss Universe pageant 2001, she had to satisfy her miss universe crown dreams with only a forth runner up position, she was happy and she later told in an interview that the contest greatly increased her confidence as a beautiful young girl. A fourth runner up in the miss universe and a Miss India crown holder, obviously her path to the great Bollywood was all open.

After her winning performance in the Miss India pageant in 2001, she had to wait two more years until she finally made her Bollywood debut in the 2003 movie ‘Khel’. She signed one more film in the same year called ‘Janasheen’. It didn't take very long before people started noticing her. She stunned everybody with her beauty and agility.

She made some controversial comments about the kind of treatment she received from the Puerto Rican media, the Miss Universe contest was held in Puerto Rica and she believes that the media in there watched her as a threat to the hometown girl and that year’s winner Denise Quinones.

Even before her entry to bollywood she was featured in popular medias for several times like in the Bombay Vikings' Zara Nazron Se Kehdo’ video.

Celina is a big fan of super star Amitabh Bachchan and she also appreciates works of Sushmita Sen, Aamir Khan and Aiswarya Rai. She once said that it is her dream to work with these people as they are few of the finest peoples in what they do. When asked which character she would like to play in a remake she said “I would like to play Meena Kumari’s role in ‘Pakeeza’, Waheeda Rehman’s role from ‘Chaudhavi Ka Chand’ and Rekha’s role in ‘Umrao Jaan’.

In one interview she admitted that she and Fardeen Khan have a “special chemistry” on screen and she also expressed her crave to act against Hrithik Roshan as she believes that their pair will look great on screen because of the height and eye-color combinations. She also added that she rates herself eight out of ten as an actress because she believes the she still has got to cover a long way before she can call herself a good actress.

She is hoping to do more and more glamour roles in the current phase of her career because she want to stay in people's mind as a beautiful and sizzling actress forever and she adds that “I have a lot of time in the future to de-glam myself”

Her latest movies are ‘Shakalaka Boom Boom’ and ‘Red: the dark side’. ‘Dulha Mil gaya’, ‘Kaash Tumse Mohabbat Na Hoti’, ‘Unusual Love Story’, ‘One Night’, ‘No Entry II’ are some of her forthcoming films.
