Celina Jaitley recently took to social media to share a powerful image of herself donning sindoor, as the traditional red mark trends globally for its aesthetic and symbolic appeal. But for Celina, sindoor is more than just a cultural adornment—it's a profound statement of love, identity, and resilience.

“Sindoor is no longer just a symbol of marital devotion. Today it stands as a powerful emblem of India’s collective spirit—of love, sacrifice, and resistance,” she wrote in an emotional note. As sindoor continues to capture global fascination for its beauty, Celina reminded followers of its deeper meaning. “It is sacred. It is strength. And now, it is also a statement,” she added.

In a time when symbolic gestures carry social and political weight, Celina emphasized how sindoor can represent unity and defiance in the face of terror and conflict. “Through sindoor, we honour those we love, those we’ve lost, and those we fight to bring home,” she said. For her, wearing sindoor is not just a personal or cultural choice—it’s a vow to protect what matters and demand peace.

Beyond her recent post, Celina continues to be a vocal advocate for social causes while balancing family and work. A former Miss India and successful Bollywood actress known for films like No Entry and Golmaal Returns, Celina has also made her mark internationally. Now a wife and mother of three, she lives in Austria with her husband, Peter Haag, and remains active in global campaigns supporting LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness.

Through her message, Celina reclaims sindoor as a modern emblem—not only of tradition, but of fierce love, strength, and purpose in today's ever-changing world.
