Actress Celina Jaitley has near-miss in Mumbai terror attacks
Top Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley could have been one of the victims of the horrific Mumbai attacks had it not been for her lateness.
“It’s incredible. I felt I shouldn’t be going all the way to south Mumbai. On the way, I changed the venue," she says. "Barely an hour after I reached Four Seasons, the first news about what was going on in the city began filtering in. And to think that I could have been there too! I don’t even want to think about it."
"There was panic as news spread that five-star hotels were being targeted. We really didn’t know what was going on and where. All the diners at Four Seasons were told to stay put and the area around the hotel was cordoned off."
"But I was glued to the TV all night. I couldn’t sleep a wink. My dad was in a state of panic and kept on calling from Lebanon wondering what was happening to all of us! Throughout our ordeal, I was continuously in touch with my family and friends."
With near to 200 people dead, we are relived to report that the Mumbai authorities have finally managed to get the situation under control. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones in this insane act and we applaud the effort of the rescuers.
