What started off as a mere acquaintance during the premiere of Janasheen (2003) has now evolved into a mature relationship, they confess.
He's moving to Mumbai
Teague is in the process of shifting base and has already secured a flat in girlfriend Jaitley's neighborhood, at Seven Bungalows, Andheri (West). Putting her recent link-up with co-star Emraan Hashmi to rest, the actress says, "Sean is the man I'm closest to. He means a lot to me. We are working things out together. Let's see what the future holds for us."
What brought him here?
Teague has been working in as chief operating officer (COO) with His Karma Productions Inc, located in California. Business trips and an urge to experience India for himself saw him landing in Delhi and Mumbai. While working on a project, he met Feroz Khan, who invited him for the grand premiere held in the city, where he was smitten by Jaitley.
Talking about Celina, he says, "She is highly intelligent, sophisticated and has a beautiful heart. Being a public person, she has of late become the target of the media, but she's a simple girl. Her generous nature and honesty makes her more special to me."
Biryani romance
Teague says he has already finished hopping around all the great restaurants and food joints, as he's a gourmet. "I've been hopping around quite a few places with her. Lucky's chicken biryani is my favourite, and I can gobble it down even after having dinner."
Adds Jaitley, "He's a big foodie. He can do anything for yummy food." When asked about their last holiday together, Teague says, "I'm not going to tell you about our vacation.
It's a fact that I love travelling. I have seen Goa, Agra, Aurangabad, Pune, Lucknow and Bangalore so far, and I'm simply spellbound. I only need a backpack to board a train heading to the hinterland. But Celina doesn't have time to spare. Presently, I'm planning a short visit to Varanasi, with a few friends."
Sean also revealed that he has developed a taste for Bollywood potboilers, and No Entry is his favourite when it comes to Celina's films. "Yes, I have seen every single movie she has done so far — with English subtitles, otherwise it becomes a little difficult to comprehend. No Entry is hilarious and I really admire Celina's acting skills."
Celina's scared
However, we hear that the actress has apprehensions their relationship might take a beating. "There are just too many things happening in my life right now. With every passing day, we are getting to know each other in a better way. Our friendship is definitely blooming into something better for both of us," she adds.
