Celina Jaitley, known for her unwavering support for the LGBTQIA community, recently spoke candidly about the challenges she encountered due to her vocal advocacy. In a deeply personal revelation, Celina shared the distressing experience of receiving threats from individuals who opposed her stance on LGBTQIA rights. This unwarranted hostility and backlash served as a stark reminder of the obstacles faced by those who dare to raise their voices for marginalized communities.
The turning point in Celina`s journey towards becoming a passionate advocate came with the tragic death of her makeup artist, Probier Da. This close friend and confidant, who happened to be gay, played a significant role in Celina`s life during her early years as a struggling 15-year-old model. Probier Da acted as a nurturing figure, guiding and supporting Celina through the trials and tribulations of the fashion industry. His sudden passing had a profound impact on Celina, leading her to reflect on the challenges and prejudices faced by the LGBTQIA community.
