Celina Jaitley alleged that cricketers from across the border abused her after she performed at the Indian Cricket League (ICL) match between Lahore Badshahs and Delhi Giants.

On Sunday, Celina had finished her performance and was taking what she calls a “glory round” with her security personnel around the stadium, when she heard loud abuses in Hindi coming out of the players’ enclosure.

“At first I couldn’t believe where it was coming from. I still want to give them the benefit of doubt because it’s so hard to believe they could behave this way,” she said with a shudder, recalling that she wanted to rush back to her car and drive away from the nightmare.

“But I couldn’t because the security guys wouldn’t let me pass. So I was stuck listening to myself being described in the most colourful language,” Celina, who was seen in films like No Entryand Shakalaka Boom Boom, told IANS.

The ex-Miss India refuses to lay the blame on anyone for the abusive incident, but she does admit that she recognises the Pakistani players because she had participated in a TV interview with them for a sports channel.
