Celina Jaitley faces racism in India

A suburban Mumbais 7 star hotel was in news recently for denying entry to three Marathi actors because of their Kolhapuri chappals. Now, Celina Jaitley faces a tinge of racism in the same hotel where she went into the sports lounge with a gay foreigner friend of hers. There a German guy made obscene gestures at her. Later he came upto her to tell her in German in picturesque detail what he’d like to do to her. Celina asked the hotel’s authorities to deal with the situation, since they hadn’t allowed her bodyguard in, but they coolly said that they did not even know him. That was it. Celina left that day but returned the next day with three vans of cops, got the man out of his room and confronted him. He fell to his knees and cried and begged saying he has a wife and children back home. He should’ve thought of them when he treated me to such vulgar intentions. I made him write an apology and then for his family’s sake decided not to press charges. The worst thing was, nobody in the hotel wanted to co-opearate with me in dealing with this situation, says a fuming Celina.
