Celesti Bairagey, Alia’s Doppelganger lands a role in a television show
Due to her resemblance to actor Alia Bhatt, Celesti Bairagey gained notoriety after a video of her was widely shared on social media recently. Now, Celesti will appear on Udti Ka Naam Rajjo, her debut television programme. She will appear in the show as the talented athlete Rajjo. She filmed in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, for the show.
A recent interview with Celesti revealed that she actually landed the job thanks to a reel she created based on a moment from Alia’s movie Gangubai Kathiawadi. She also mentioned how much she admired the actor.
Celesti said in a new interview, “I have always fancied acting in drama and skits in school and wanted to become an actor. And I am a big fan of Alia Bhatt and love watching her films. As a young girl, I would keep updating my social media with new reels and stories. And a few months back, I recreated a scene from Gangubai Kathiawadi and posted it. The makers saw it and called me for an audition. After a few mock shoots, I landed this role.”
Celesti revealed that she has already filmed for the show in Kullu. She said, “We shot for the show in Kullu in minus degree temperatures and did many difficult stunts. I am glad that the makers are nice and warm towards me because it is not easy for any young small, city girl to start shooting for such a challenging role.” She added that Alia’s role in Highway is Imtiaz Ali’s Highway is her favourite film, and she hopes to do such roles herself in the future. She also said she hopes to meet Alia someday.
As per a report in Telly Chakkar, Celesti will star opposite Rajveer Singh in the Star Plus show. Which will star airing from August 8. Celesti has already appeared in the Assamese web film Niveer Aru Tara. She had previously said to Humans of Bombay in an interview that she admires Alia but wants to retain her own identity. She also said she wants to make her Bollywood debut with the actor.
