Mumbai, Model-turned-actress Celina Jaitley announced wine as the colour of the season at the Lakme Fashion Week here Friday.

“It is a privilege to launch the colour of the season as Lakme has always predicted the coming trend rightly. This time, Lakme has predicted a colourful trend with the colour wine,” Celina told IANS after the launch of the colour during the Lakme Fashion Week here.

Asked if she uses the colour personally, she said: “Yes, yes, I have used the colour and I am really looking forward to use it in the coming season because for a long time the trend of very nude looks was on and little bit of colour was required. I am so glad that it is wine because it suits the Indian skin tone best.”

Celina was fed up of natural nude colours.

“I was fed up of putting natural nude tones, so I was waiting for something like this,” said the actress.

She believes any trend reaches the people faster if it is triggered by an actor.

“If a trend is started by any actor, it reaches the masses faster because people idolize actors,” said Celina.

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley will be performing at Country Club here on New Year's Eve, and not at JW Marriott as per earlier reports.

As per Celina's representative there was some mis-communication about the venue.

'There have been confusing reports recently about my performance on Dec 31. I would therefore like to clarify that I will be performing at Country club and not JW Marriot,' said Celina in a statement.

Billionaire Investor, Managing Director for Footprints Filmworks Omar Abdulla says that Jailey had reminded him of how his wife looks.

Currently busy with her Kannada movie, Jaitley luckily escaped falling from a great height in to a shallow rocky sea after a camera buggy swung out of control and caused the actress to topple. Barely managing to grab a buggy rung, Celina again lost her footing but was saved by camera assisstant Ram Gopal Mishra who grabbed and saved her in the nick of time.



Titled Shrimathi and loosely based on Aitraaz, Celina's offering to Kannada cinema sees her as a woman who has no qualms about getting what she wants. The director was eager to base her look on immortal glamorous heroines such as Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman - style icons of their time in the 80s. To do this, Abdulla was promptly sent designer shopping and ended up with all her costumes from Bankgok and Paris.
