Celina Jaitly SLAMS Ageism In Film Industry: 'After 39, A Woman Begins To Fade…'
Last Updated: Celina Jaitly addressed ageism in the film industry on Instagram, emphasising women don't fade with age. Esha Deol and Sussanne Khan supported her. Celina Jaitly, who has starred in as many as 20 films, openly called out ageism in films via an angry post on Instagram. The Janasheen actor mentioned how she was recently told that a woman steadily starts to fade away after the age of 39 in the film industry. She urged her followers not to believe in such narratives and mentioned that she is only getting 'stronger, bolder, and unstoppable" with time. She also shared a new post on Thursday, reiterating what she previously called out clearly – to not feel guilty while growing up. Two days back, Celina Jaitly dropped a stunning photo of herself, standing in the backdrop of a scenic landscape. There, she defied age-related conversations that often float in the film industry. In a long note, the No Entry actor wrote, '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." She directly addressed her audience and penned, '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!!!" The post was widely circulated online, and was liked by celebs such as Esha Deol and Sussanne Khan.

She mentioned that she has personally invested in '50 shades of grey". 'The glow up is in the grow up …. Remember not to feel guilty about ANY THING & ANY TIME invested in your physical and mental growth… I personally also invested in 50 shades of Grey….. All in my closet," she posted.

Netflix fans have just weeks left to watch British drama lauded as 'perfect raunchy television' - as viewers swipe 'forget 50 Shades Of Gray, this will blow your mind!'
Netflix fans have just weeks left to watch a British drama that has been lauded as 'perfect raunchy television'. After originally airing on ITV2 from 2007 to 2011, Secret Diary Of A Call Girl captivated viewers over four seasons. The series has since been available to stream on Netflix, but is set to leave the site by May 29. Secret Diary Of A Call Girl is based on the blog and novels by Bell de Jour, who writes under a pseudonym. The drama features Doctor Who star Billie Piper, Peaky Blinders actor Iddo Goldberg and Cherie Lunghi. It follows Hannah Baxter, played by Piper, who 'likes the finer things in life and supports her expensive taste by secretly working as a high-class call girl,' according to the synopsis. Created by Lucy Prebble, Secret Diary Of A Call Girl has received some raving reviews from critics across its four seasons. Buffalo News described it as 'close to perfect raunchy summer television' while IGN Movies wrote: 'The show is well written, well acted and stylish. 'The music is good and the tone is something less than completely serious even though it does take its story seriously. On IMDb, the show has a respectable 7.3/10 rating and one user penned: 'Forget your 50 shades of Grey, this British programme brought about a whole new wave of sex and the boundaries which we cover and don't cover and will open your eyes into lives that you had heard about, never fully believed, but will blow your mind with every episode.' Another fan dubbed the show a 'deliciously wicked drama' and scored it 8/10. While someone else said: 'I only started this series because of Billie Piper (and the fact that Matt Smith would be in one episode), but I ended up actually enjoying it... 'So much I spent every free second of my last three days watching Secret Diary of a Call Girl.' Though, not everyone is a fan of the show and one watcher described it as 'a re-hash of everything from Sex And The City to Footballer's Wives'. While another said: 'This series had a wonderful premise regarding the day to day life of a London call girl; it even had some very enjoyable episodes. 'But the writers' inept attempts of having said call girl try to have various personal relationships over several seasons, besides being very repetitive, were just woefully done and painful to watch. 'In hindsight, I regret having spent so much time on this.'
