IT WAS far from a Super Sunday for Celina Jaitley. The Bollywood scorcher, who performed at an ICL Twenty20 Challenge match in Gurgaon this weekend, got a rude shock when some Pak­istani cricketers allegedly passed "cheap comments" at her at the event.
"As 1 was passing by the play­ers' enclosure, 1 definitely heard a few comments. Some of the remarks were really cheap. 1 could not see anyone because 1 was surrounded by security men. Later, the organisers told me that they were some Pakistani cricketers," Celina told MAIL TODAY. "I don't even recognise any of them, and it is a bit upset­ting. But 1 am trying to get over it," she added.
If reports are to be believed, some of the less abrasive comments that came her way were: "Move her away, she is spoiling the mood of the entire match"; "Why does she need such heavy security? Is she Osama bin Laden?"
"Some other remarks were also in really bad taste," said Celina. "I did­n't expect this from cricketers, who are known for their sporting spirit.""The comments came out of the blue. At1;er the incident, there was a lot of chaos as people gathered all around. Celina had to be escorted away to her car before the situation got out of hand," said a source at the ICL.
