Celina Jaitly’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’m young right now; I have a lot of time in the future to de-glam myself. Now I want to do roles of my age which are glamorous; because I have that image – I’m a glamorous woman. I wanted to be called a good and a good-looking actress.
- About her cameo in Silsiilay (2005): “In Sisilay I have a special appearance; it was a strange experience because I can never imagine being a woman like the one I’ve portrayed. I’m in love with a married man, much older to me and who has a son her own age. It’s a complex character, and I loved it.”
- When asked which character she would like to play in a remake: “I would like to play Meena Kumari’s role in Pakeezah, Waheeda Rehmanji’s role from
Chaudavi Ka Chand' and Rekha's role inUmrao Jaan’.”- When I intend to settle down, I’m just gonna tell my parents to find someone for me. I have lost faith in myself to make the right decision as far as a man is concerned. Sean (her ex-boyfriend) was a big lapse in judgment.
- I rate myself 8 as an actor…but everybody doesn’t share the same viewpoint.
