Walk like an Egyptian

Celina Jaitley is overjoyed with her latest avatar – the Egypt Tourism Board has declared her the brand ambassador of Egypt from India. To make sureshe lived up to the honour, she took time off to make a quick trip to Cairo, the largest city in the Middle East.

Celina visited the Giza Pyramid and was awestruck. She even managed to walk into the dangerous passage that descends into the pyramid. So stunned was she, that she could not stop clicking pictures with her Nokia cell phone. The trip to Giza and a few meetings with the Tourism Authority of Egypt were the highlights of her sojourn.

This was also her first trip to Egypt, and she was pleasantly surprised to discover that Bollywood films are very popular there. "They seem to big fans of our movies and Amitabh Bachchan happened to be their favourite actor. Most of them wanted to know if I had acted with Mr Bachchan and asked me all sort of questions about him," Celina recalls with a smile.
