My wedding was not traditional,"Celina Jaitley"

Celina Jaitley has revealed that she decided against having a traditional wedding to Austrian boyfriend Peter Haag.

The actress and gay rights campaigner married her long-term partner in Austria on July 23.

Jaitley told The Times of India: "It was definitely magical. We are planning a reception to celebrate this important occasion in our lives.

"It was an intimate affair attended by very close family members only. Since my parents couldn't make it due to last minute visa challenges, Peter's father gave me away during the ceremony."

Jaitley continued: "I am Indian and wearing a saree was a personal decision. My dearest friend Rahuul Jashnani flew in this vintage, royalty inspired chiffon saree decorated with gold mukaish especially for the wedding.

"My Prince Charming and his father went out of their way to make it the most magical moment of my life. I had a beautiful wedding amid the sunshine of the Austrian mountains and under the high arches of a place that has never had a wedding before.

"Most importantly, with the right person, my Prince Peter. It was a wedding beyond my wildest dreams."

Jaitley added that she will now live between Dubai, where Haag lives, and Mumbai, as she will continue acting in Bollywood.

In July, Jaitley dismissed media speculation that she is a lesbian based on her extensive campaigning on gay and lesbian equality in India.

Celina Jaitley marries partner Peter Haag in Austria

Celina Jaitley has announced that she got married last week.

The Bollywood actor told her Twitter followers that she wed partner Peter Haag in a private ceremony in Europe.

Jaitley posted: "With great pleasure I would like to announce my wedding with @peterhaag on the 23rd of last month at a thousand year old monastery in Austria.

"We seek your blessings and good wishes, and apologise for the delayed announcement due to a family tragedy."

The star also shared images from the ceremony, which saw Jaitley wearing a floral sari and holding a bouquet of red roses.

The performer recently denied reports that she was a lesbian, following her high-profile support of the gay rights movement in India.

Jaitley was rumoured to have secretly married her hotelier boyfriend at a ceremony in Dubai last year.

The model-turned-actor, whose image has been compared to US singer Katy Perry, was last seen in 2011 ensemble comedy Thank You.

Egypt wonderful to get married

Celina Jaitley is ready to take the plunge with her Dubai-based beau Peter Haag. And she says she would love to get married in picturesque Egypt whenever she decides to tie the knot.

So the Celina-Peter wedding is being planned for the year-end in Egypt, for which she is a tourism ambassador. "They want to play host to my wedding. You know Naomi Campbell got married in Egypt. It'd be a wonderful wedding in that beautiful country," Celina said.

But she is in no hurry.

"I want to give it a year. Right now, I've so many endorsements and movies. Peter is not comfortable with the media glare. I guess he will have to get used to it," the former Miss India said.

Celina and Peter Haag, who is an Austrian by nationality, exchanged rings at a very private ceremony last year.

"There were just my parents... no one else. Yes, Peter and I exchanged rings during Durga Puja. It was an auspicious time and we had my parents' blessings. We don't call it an engagement because that term is not auspicious in our family. My last engagement eight years ago didn't work out. My parents said, 'Just keep the matter quiet and decide to get married whenever you do'."

Celina's brother Vikrant is getting married in March or April. "First he will get married, then me," she said.

Peter has been working in Dubai for the last nine years in the hotel business and Celina says it was a "quirk of fate" that has united them.

"By some quirk of fate I kept going to Dubai repeatedly for my work. That's how we kept meeting. And then of course I started visiting Dubai for Peter. If I have the time I will spend it with the man I love. We have a house in Dubai now. Peter doesn't want to visit India that often," she revealed.

Celina, who has acted in films like "Golmaal Returns" and "No Entry", met Peter through her maternal uncle.

"He's my maama's (uncle) best friend. My maama lives in Dubai and that's how I met Peter. We've been dating for less than year now. I'm one person who has never gone for random relationships. Peter and I wanted to keep it quiet for as long as we were not sure of where the relationship was heading. I've become really superstitious... Now I'm certain Peter is the person," the actress said.

Celina Jaitley 'in secret Dubai wedding'

Celina Jaitley is reported to have got married in a secret ceremony outside India.

The No Entry star had a low-key wedding in Dubai with hotelier Peter Stagg, The Times of India claims.

A source close to the actress revealed: "I will not be surprised if she has settled down with Peter in Dubai. If they solemnised their relationship, it must have happened there. Celina is hardly seen in Mumbai these days."

The 29-year-old celebrity, who has become recognised for her gay rights activism in India, has not spoken publicly about her relationship with Stagg.

"We did not want our private life to be a spectacle. Everyone deserves privacy. How on earth will anyone benefit from what is going on between me and someone else? We like to live in our own world, which really does not concern anyone else," said the former beauty queen.

Jaitley will next be seen in Anees Bazmee's Thank You, releasing in April.

Celina Jaitley not ready for marriage

Jaitley's latest films, Anees Bazmee's Run Bhola Run and Neeraj Vora's Thank You, will be released later this year.
