In the first week of February, Celina Jaitly took to Instagram and talked about the "double standard" that exists when it comes to sexuality. Not only this, the actor mentioned that "men are free and women are not". She added, "Owning your sexuality and your sexual drive is one of the most empowering things anyone can do. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists."

In a fun video, Celina went on to express her thoughts about the same. In the clip, she said, "Just remember, if having sex for money makes you a whore, having sex for free makes you a non-profit organisation." Celina remarked that it's her funny take on something serious that needs to be addressed by society. More so, she continued that people have to stop using the word- "whore" while describing a woman who freely expresses her sexuality.
