She got people to look up and notice her with her pole dancing act in her debut flick, Janasheen and once again this glam doll has some bold act up her sleeve. Celina Jaitley will play a night club stripper in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s forthcoming film Showman. Celina has always been playing glamorous roles. Speaking about her role from New Zealand where she has gone to attend the premiere of her first international film, she says, “I am playing this girl born to an English man and Indian woman. She unfortunately comes from a very poor family background in London. She has grown up to be a stripper in a night club and a con artist. Basically her main aim is to own a night club.” It can be recalled that Celina played a pole dancer in her debut film. “Yeah but there I was a cop who pretends to be a pole dancer. Everyone comes to know at the end of the movie that I am an undercover cop. And here I am again pretending to be a stripper but not one actually.

I am just trying to get all the hot girls to work for my club.”Apart from Celina the film also stars Govinda and Rimi Sen in pivotal roles. It’s produced by Reel Life Productions and has been extensively shot in the UK.

Celina Jaitley is fed up of being linked with her co-stars. It all started with her alleged link up with Emraan Hashmi while they were working together in Jawani Diwani and was followed up with Govinda as they were doing Money Hain To Honey Hain together. Now there are rumours floating around in media circles about her latest lover boy being her Golmaal Returns co-star, Tusshar Kapoor.A hassled Celina denying her alleged affairs as mere rumours told us, “It is so strange that someone who has been alleged to have affairs is looking for love desperately. I am just good friends with Tusshar and we got along famously during the Goa and Bangkok schedules of Golmaal Returns is all I can say. We worked together and there is nothing more to it. I simply do not understand this link-up rumour business!””I am missing love in my life. I have been single for three and half years. Besides love, I have everything going great in my life. I have a busy year ahead. Tusshar has been very supportive and I really appreciate that,” Celina added.Sounding pretty excited about her upcoming release, Golmaal Returns she said, “I think I have formed a relationship with comedies instead. (Laughs) My co-star in the film is Shreyas Talpade and it is my third film with him.

I enjoy working with him. I must admit that I grow every time I do a scene with him. His comic timing is so good. We used to improvise our scenes together a lot. It will all reflect on screen when you see it on big screen.” Celina concluded.

From old hats like Shabana Azmi, Hema Malini and Mahesh Bhatt to young actors like Sonam Kapoor, Celina Jaitley and Abhishek Bachchan - on Mother’s Day they all talk about the contribution of their mothers in their lives and give them credit for their success. Here is what the actors have to say on the special occasion:

Sonam Kapoor: My mother is my best friend. What she has taught me is to value the people who love me. I never take anyone for granted. When I was working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and struggling to live up to his penchant for perfectionism, she would step in to guide me. During that crucial time my mother taught me to be patient and strong and to follow my heart. My mother is an exceptional householder. She doesn’t have just three children, but four, my father being the fourth. He has to talk to her like 20 times a day. If I can run my household after marriage with half my mom’s efficiency I’d consider myself a successful woman.

Raima Sen: The biggest thing I’ve learnt from my mother is patience and to respect other people’s space. Also, to be strong-willed! She has also taught my sister and I not to make the mistakes she made in her career. She has brought up both of us as independent women capable of taking our own decisions.

Shabana Azmi: Where do I begin? My mom has taught me compassion, generosity of spirit, and not to make an issue out of everything in life. I’ve inherited my taste in clothes from her. Above all, she has taught me acting and how to approach a role.

Abhishek Bachchan: My mom has taught me to try and be a good human being.

Urmila Matondkar: Mom has taught me not to be judgemental and to love and accept people as they are. From her, I’ve learnt that if you’re patient the best is bound to happen for you.

Shilpa Shetty: What have I learnt from mom? Everything! Most of all I’ve learnt the importance of dignity in my conduct. She also taught me never to let anyone trample on my self-respect.
