“I Was In A Traumatic Relationship With A Closeted Gay Man” Reveals Celina Jaitely
Bollywood actress Celina Jaitely has recently spoken about the ‘traumatic relationship’ she had with a ‘closeted gay man’ when she was just 16-year-old. Here’s what she has to say about it
Actor Celina
Jaitley is returning to Bollywood with a short film tiled Season’s Greetings: A
Tribute to Rituparno Ghosh, based on recently abolished Section 377. While
talking to Hindustan Times, the actress spoke extensively about her upcoming
short film, and also revealed an incident where she had been through a
‘traumatic relationship’.
Speaking to the
leading daily, the actress first spoke about the subject and later about her
previous relationship. She said, “The film deals with every aspect of the
LGBTQIA. A famous gay Kolkata based make-up artiste was a mother figure to me
in my struggling days as a model there. I closely observed his trials and
tribulations as a gay middleaged man, then as a senior citizen. Incidentally,
at the same time I was in a traumatic relationship with a closeted gay man.

At
16, you think prayers and shamans can fix this. Their untimely deaths a few
years later made me realise that everyone has the right to life and choose whom
they can have a relationship with. I had to do something about it. After 12
years as an activist, the United Nations appointed me as a goodwill ambassador
for the same cause and today we have come full circle after abolishment of
Section 377.”

Further, the Apna
Sapna Money Money actress revealed what kept her busy these years, she told the
leading daily, “This sabbatical was one of the best things I have done in my
life. Career-wise it was never goodbye, it was a sabbatical during which I was
able to turn producer and also work on my talents as a recording artist. I
performed with Sting on Broadway… I began work on my forthcoming books and
truly found peace in pursuing completely different aspects of myself.
Motherhood and all of the wonderful things have been such a refreshing blessing
to someone who monotonously worked since the age of 15.”
