PETA activist Celina Jaitley has allowed herself to be chained, beaten and abused for a new advertisement condemning the treatment of elephants. “In Mumbai and other parts of India, I have seen so many elephants who are kept in such bad conditions in captivity,” she says, “I think PETA has taken a very good step and I am proud to be associated with this cause.” Celina recently raised 1 million Swiss francs at a benefit in Switzerland to support the campaign to free captive elephants.

This argument could well apply to Celina, who is incredibly still single. “I am not really ready for marriage, but I would definitely like some love in my life,” she explains, “I would love to enjoy the feeling of being in love. I have been single for almost three-and-a-half years, can you believe that?”
