Kathiawadi.

Ka
Naam
Rajjo.
She
feels
Alia
Bhatt
is
lucky
for
her.
While
sharing
her
thoughts
on
the
same,
Celesti
told
Bollywood
Life,
“You
can
say
that
the
video
worked
for
me.
The
producer
of
the
show
Mukta
Ma’am
(Mukta
Dhond)
decided
to
audition
me
after
seeing
that
video.
So,
Alia
Bhatt
is
lucky
for
me.”

Celesti
Bairagey
further
revealed
that
she
had
no

work
on
a
daily

While

about
the
audition
process,
she
said
that
the
casting
director
contacted
her
on
Instagram
after
seeing
her
video.
Celesti
said,
“I
recorded
my
first
audition
on
the
film
camera
of
my
phone.
I
did
not
tell
my
parents
as
I
did
not
expect
to
be
selected.
It
was
a
surprise
when
I
was
told
to
come
down
to
Mumbai
for
the
second
level
of
auditions.
I
was
hesitant
to
tell
my
parents
as
travelling
from
Assam
to
Mumbai
is
quite
a
deal.
My
father
was
like
now
let
us
go
and
see
what
happens.
I
got
confidence
after
his
encouragement.”

When
asked
about
her
reaction
after
getting
selected
for
the
role,
Celesti
Bairagey
said,
“My
dad
and
I
went
to
visit
the
beach.
We
were
having
vada
pav.
I
got
the
call
that
I
was
selected
and
I
needed
to
report
on
the
sets.
I
was
so
happy.
Funnily,
my
dad
was
a
little
ahead.
The
first
person
who
got
this
good
news
was
the
vada
pav
wala
as
I
could
not
contain
myself.”
