About Celina Jaitley
Celina Jiya Jaitley was born in Simla, India on June 9,
1981 to Punjabi-speaking Indian Army Colonel V.K.
Jaitley and Meeta, an Afghani Beauty Queen-cum-
Psychologist, specializing in children's problems.
Celina has a brother who is also in the Indian
Army.
She wanted to grow up and join the army just
like her dad, either as a Pilot or a Doctor. Most of
her childhood was spent in different locations due to
her dad being transferred in cities and towns all over
India - as a result she ended up studying in over a
dozen different schools. The family is now re-settled
in Kolkatta.
Instead of becoming a Pilot or a Doctor,
she ended up graduating in Commerce and thereafter got
a job in a cell phone company.
Celina shot to fame
when she won a local beauty contest, and thus
encouraged, submitted her photos and profile to the
organizers of the Miss India Contest; she was admitted
in the competition, and went to be crowned Miss India
for 2001. Thereafter she went on to represent India in
the Miss Universe Contest, and ended up being the 4th
runner-up, up ahead of 79 of the contestants.
She then
appeared in several videos, including 'Zara Nazron Se
Kehdo' by the Bombay Vikings. Her debut on the tinsel
Bollywood screen commenced with Feroz Khan's Janasheen
in 2003 opposite Fardeen Khan and since then she has
gone on to appear in 11 more movies.
