The actress has often also just for fun leaned into being compared to Alia Bhatt, case in point being a makeup tutorial in which she recreated Alia's look from her 2014 romantic-comedy 2 States.

Even on Bairagey's latets post, in which she herself has not made any direct reference to Alia, the comment section continued to swell with light-hearted comparisons. While one user pointed out Bairagey reminds them of "Raha's mom", ergo Alia Bhatt, another user inquired if Bairagey and Bhatt were indeed sisters.

Celesti Bairagey has taken the comparisons in good stead and has often also played to the galleries in this regard. However, as she continues to establish herself as a public figure, she has expressed her desire to be known as herself. In an interview, Bairagey has outlined how though she immensely admires Alia and also acknowledges how much they look alike, she would like to hold on to her own identity.

She said, "I admire her for always smiling and being herself. As much as I look like her, I want to retain my own identity. I'm working hard and making my mark as a TV actress, so one day I can make my Bollywood debut with my favourite actress." Celesti Bairagey is currently shooting for an undisclosed project.
