Warrior goes Wild over Celina

Celina Jaitley’s cross-cultural romance Love has no Language, where she stars opposite hot New Zealand hunk Ben Mitchell, received a standing ovation and rave reviews from the audience at its premiere in New Zealand. “800 Asians turned up to meet me besides the 325 formal invitees,” said Celina, obviously thrilled at the size and glamour of the premiere,”We had the crème de la crème of New Zealand attending, including television film and sports personalities.”

In fact, Celina, was feeling a little unwell with the weather - “I was down with this acute tummy infection. I was doubling up with cramps and pain,” she explains, “I really thought I wouldn’t be able to attend. But at the last minute, I squeezed into my Manish Malhotra gown and dragged myself to the red carpet. The effort was worth it.”

She appears to have been a big hit all over with the kiwis. In particular, New Zealand Warriors and Kiwis legendary Rugby League hooker and captain Monty Beetham appears to have been more than smitten with the beautiful Indian actress and is said to have followed her everywhere. Could the theme of the movie be about to be re-enacted in real life? “I’m no stranger to male attention. Though I met Beetham only briefly, I believe he was quite taken up by what he called the Indian beauty. I was just floored by all the attention I got.”

The former Miss India, who was also recently seen in Money Hai Toh Honey Hai and the mega-big Diwali hit Golmaal Returns will soon be seen in Paying Guest and her next English-language project Quest of Sheherzade. In this, she plays an Iranian princess and will star opposite Orlando Bloom (who’s a lot smaller than Monty so he’d better not get any fanciful ideas!) and Sean Connery, tempted out of retirement for this epic movie. Finally, we can expect to see her as a stripper in Showman later next year – oh boy!
