Mumbai:
Wedding bells are ringing for Celina Jaitley. She will be Mrs Peter Haag on September 23 at a very private wedding in Egypt, where only the couple's family and close friends will be present.
Earlier last month, the actress had denied all rumours of a wedding before 2012, stating work as the reason. Hence, her decision to finally take the plunge just months after the couple got engaged has come as surprise to all.
The wedding will take place in Egypt despite the anti-government unrest in the country. Incidentally, Jaitley is the country's tourism ambassador.
Says the nervous but confident bride-to-be, "I'm sure everything will be back to normal in Egypt by September. Peter and I will take our marriage vows in Egypt and nowhere else. We've decided it since we took this important decision to get married. That won't change."
The actress is in constant touch with the Egyptian authorities and adds, "I'm very much in touch with Mr Khaled el Bakley the ambassador of Egypt to India, and Mr Adel el Masery,the director of Egyptian tourism.
They have ensured that every help is provided to Indian nationals stranded in Egypt. I will visit Egypt as soon as it's possible for me to travel to the country. And yes, things better get to normal soon."
Not at all worried, Celina shares, "The situation always looks far more alarming from the outside than it actually is."
" In fact, I spent an entire month there until Dec 15, 2010 for a shoot. Everything was perfectly normal and Egypt was as beautiful as ever.
I attended the Cairo Film Festival as jury for 12 days and shot for approximately a week for an ad campaign all over Cairo without a clue about any incident as such taking over Egypt.
I urge people to come forward and share their thoughts, prayers and feelings for Egypt and its people."
Celina has initiated a campaign for peace in Egypt on her official website. "It's called Pray For Egypt. Twitter followers are invited to offer their prayers for peace in the region," she concludes serenely. (With Inputs from Mid-Day.com)
