Celina Jaitley went through hell when she found out her boyfriend was gay, but years later, he became her best friend and even inspired her to take up the cause of gay rights. “ I was 16 and it was my first time at a nightclub with my friends. I met this really good-looking man, who was a lot older — by about almost 18 years — and we became really good friends. I loved spending time with him and when he told me ‘I love you’, I thought I loved him too,” said Celina.“Gradually, my friends began to tell me that he was known to be gay. I fought with them and told them that just because he was different it didn’t mean he was gay. Gradually, the arguments started, and then physical abuse, when I asked him if he was seeing another woman. I had no reason to believe he was keeping a secret. However, one Sunday, I decided to land up at his place, that’s when I saw him with his ‘best friend’,” shares Celina. “I moved out of Kolkata and went on to become Miss India and then entered films, and we lost touch. One day, he phoned me and said, “Silly Billy, are you still mad at me? Please don’t be, God made me like this,” she concludes
