Following the release of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Khel</span>, Celina Jaitley is ready - not only for <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Janasheen </span>but also to secure a foothold in showbiz.<br /><br />Still, home is where her heart is. Even as the promos of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Janasheen </span>show her emerging from the sea in a bikini, Celina is reminded of her home in Bangalore, where her parents live. <br /><br />"I am yet to come to terms with stardom. I have no personal life to speak of. It is a very high price to pay."<br /><br />The notion that actresses breeze through one party after the other doesn''t hold true in Celina''s book. Check out the sound bytes: "People don''t know that we hardly have time to do anything but shoot for films."<br /><br />One foot in the reel world, one foot in the real world. "It isn''t easy being an actress," Celina points out, "There was this moment in South Africa when I was mobbed by teenagers at a mall. They created such a racket that I had to run out of the store!"<br /><br />A straight-talker who keeps her chin up, Celina concedes that there is plenty of competition in Bollywood. "But there is a secret in the industry," she adds, "There is enough work to go around -one just has to know which slot one fits into." <br /><br />A brave actress. Or just plain common sense? Whatever it is, it''s working. A promising future beckons. And Celina Jaitley is ready.</div> </div>
