Celina Jaitley is one actress who is known more for her controversies and her cause for homosexuals than her acting skills and substantial work. Recently, the actress has admitted that she is just crazy about shoes. Celina admits to having around 1, 500 pairs and for this, she plans to register herself in the Limca Book of Records.

Her fetish for shoes came out when she was shooting in Canada recently for Anees Bazmee’s ‘Thank You’. The actress had pain in her tooth and she went to the dentist for a root canal treatment. Then, she planned to visit the chemist to pick up some painkillers, but instead landed up at the shoe shop across the road. Giving in to her temptations, she ended up buying 11 pairs of shoes and went back to her hotel only to realize that she had forgotten to buy the medicines. No wonder, her close friends now call her Shoelina!
Celina confesses in her own words, “I must confess that I have a real huge fetish for shoes. Even though I have over 1500 pairs yet I crave for more and more. There have been times when I have left home to buy medicines and have ended up buying shoes!!!”

While Bipasha rocked Sahara Star Hotel, Celina Jaitely was roped in to entertain audience at Country Club. Celina was paid 60 lakhs for her performance.

Bollywood fraternity is all excited about Christmas and planning to celebrate it in a different way this year. Read below:

Saif Ali khan : Yes, we do celebrate Christmas. This year during the festival, I’m trying to relive warm childhood memories with a big decorated Christmas Tree, presents under it, lots of light and the family atmosphere. But even with all these celebrations, in India, Diwali is essentially our Christmas.

John Abraham: “More than anything else, it’s a great occasion to do something good, something meaningful for people to make them happy. And yes, it’s also about some yummy food. For me, Christmas is probably that one time in the year when I allow myself to pig out on anything chocolate. That can be chocolate cakes, brownies, pudding… Ah, and how can I forget chocolate Christmas pudding, that great, traditional Christmas dessert! Well, as long as it’s about chocolate, it’s okay with me.”

Abhay Deol : Christmas is a time to celebrate. It’s also essentially a family time. Christmas for me is a time for family. I’ll probably be spending the evening with my nephews and nieces and family. I am looking forward to celebrating the festival with near and dear ones. That’s what festivals are all about for me.

Asin: “I’m upset I can’t go home for Christmas this year. Christmas is not so much about parties for me but I do give ample importance to the spirit of the festival.It is a time to remember the Lord and it also a time to spread the message of joy.We distributed gifts amongst ourselves,’’ she laughs. “I try my best not to shoot on Christmas because it is family time.”

Genelia D’Souza: “Life has been hectic and I’ve been shooting back-to-back outdoors. But Santa heard my prayer and brought me home in time for Christmas. Right since childhood, I haven’t missed out on a single midnight mass with my folks. And last night, we offered our prayers at St Peter’s and St Anne’s Church in Bandra.”

Celina Jaitly : Christmas in our family is very special. I remember being told the story that in 1962 my grandfather who was missing in the Indo-China war came back over Christmas. It’s a very special occasion for our family. I will be celebrating Christmas with my family, like always.

Amrita Rao : Christmas is an occasion I look forward to every year, as it a perfect opportunity for me to break away from my daily routine and consciously spread happiness and love around me. I have always celebrated Christmas with great fervour and I believe that the warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.This year, I am planning to spend my Christmas with family and close friends over quiet dinner.
