But instead of letting the remark dim her spirit, Celina clapped back with confidence and facts. Refusing to be defined by age or industry norms, the No Entry actress pointed out how her
reels have racked up over 30 million views-often outperforming the reach of some full-length feature films. She also urged both men and women to reject the idea of being sidelined by age.
Celina also opened up about motherhood, saying it didn't slow her down but empowered her to grow and evolve.
Emphasizing that every challenge has only made her stronger, she proudly stated that she's rising, evolving, and not going anywhere. On Tuesday, the 'Apna Sapna Money Money' actress took to her Instagram handle to share a photo of herself posing amidst a stunning mountain landscape.
For the caption, she wrote, "#nofilter They said recently to me - after 39, a woman begins to fade in this industry. I was told, 'You may look 27, but the digits matter.'
Well, here's my response, watch those digits, because they will be great. Some of my Instagram reels have more views than their full-length films at the box office. With reels having reached to phenomenal- 30 Million views...Dear Men and women remember you have NOT been sidelined by age."
"Personally speaking I've been sharpened by experience. Motherhood didn't pause my journey, it empowered it. Every challenge, every reinvention, has only made me stronger.

I'm not done, I've only just begun. I'm evolving, I'm rising, and I'm here to stay. Stronger. Bolder. Unstoppable. I will bring my own chair to the table where there are none for me," Celina added.
Work-wise, Celina Jaitly stepped into Bollywood with
's 2003 film "Janasheen." Over the years, she has carved a niche for herself with notable performances in films like "No Entry," "Apna Sapna Money Money," "Golmaal Returns," and "Thank You."

Hina weds Rocky: Hina Khan's show-stopping diamond ring stole the show at her minimalist wedding
Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal's intimate wedding on June 4, 2025, captivated fans, highlighted by Hina's stunning diamond engagement ring. The couple, who met on the set of 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,' celebrated their union with a low-key ceremony. Hina wore a Manish Malhotra saree featuring personalized embroidery. It was a wedding that broke the internet and hearts in the most beautiful way. On June 4, 2025, television star Hina Khan surprised her massive fanbase by announcing her intimate wedding to longtime love Rocky Jaiswal. But while the ceremony was understated and deeply personal, one dazzling detail had everyone talking: her jaw-dropping, supersized diamond engagement ring that could rival any royal heirloom. Hina and Rocky's love story began in 2008 on the sets of her debut TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Over the years, the duo remained fiercely private, but their bond only grew stronger with time. After over a decade of companionship, they sealed their forever in a low-key registered wedding ceremony attended by close family and friends. And when Hina finally shared the wedding photos on Instagram, the internet could barely keep up. All eyes on that ring Minimalist in her bridal fashion, Hina still managed to bring maximum impact, thanks to the monumental solitaire ring on her finger. Her engagement ring was a true showstopper: a giant round-cut diamond set in a three-layered band glittering with smaller pavé diamonds. The design was classic yet extravagant, radiating elegance and eternal love in every glint. Fans couldn't take their eyes off the rock - sparkling brighter than ever as it peeked through her bridal poses. It wasn't just a ring; it was a love letter in diamond form. For the big day, Hina turned muse for designer Manish Malhotra. She wore a delicate opal green handloom saree paired with a blush pink blouse, exquisitely embroidered with zardozi work and a chic glass neckline. The saree featured golden and silver threadwork weaving ancient motifs through its fabric, finished with a classic kiran patti border. But the most touching detail? Her saree was embroidered with the duo's names in Devanagari script along with an infinity symbol - an eternal love note stitched into couture. Dreamy wedding Completing her dreamy bridal look, Hina draped a soft pink veil with scalloped kinari, pinned gracefully over her head. Her jewellery was minimal - diamond maang tikka, delicate choker, and kundan bangles but enough to add royalty to her understated elegance. She also redefined bridal mehendi trends. Eschewing the traditional mandala style, Hina opted for a minimalist lotus motif design - fine lotus vines over her fingers and a large central lotus bloom on her palm. Her feet were no less artistic, with the soles covered in floral henna patterns that matched her hand mehendi perfectly. Sharing the heartwarming photos on Instagram, Hina wrote: 'From two different worlds, we built a universe of love… Today, our union is forever sealed in love and law. We seek your blessings and wishes as wife and husband.' DECODED! Alia Bhatt's mangalsutra has a connection with Ranbir Kapoor and here's what it means It was everything a modern bride could hope for - intimate, meaningful, and dripping with quiet luxury. But one thing is for sure: Hina Khan's larger-than-life engagement ring will remain etched in bridal fashion history as one of the most iconic diamonds we've seen in a long time.
