Sunil Shetty & Celina Jaitley Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Khel; the 2010s to Thank You. Sunil Shetty acted in every film; Celina Jaitley acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Sunil Shetty and Celina Jaitley first worked together in 'Khel' (1992), but here's the twist — Celina wasn't even born when the film released. She was born in 1981; the film came out in 1992. They didn't actually share screen time in that movie. Their real first collaboration was 'Apna Sapna Money Money' (2006), a full 14 years later.
• In 'Apna Sapna Money Money' (2006), Sunil played a loud, over-the-top gangster while Celina played a glamorous con artist. Sunil later said in an interview that Celina's comic timing was so sharp that he had to stop himself from laughing mid-scene. She set the pace for their banter; he followed her lead.
• During the shoot of 'Thank You' (2011), Sunil and Celina reportedly bonded over their shared love for fitness. Celina, a former Miss India, and Sunil, a fitness enthusiast, would hit the gym together between takes. No drama, no gossip — just two actors who genuinely liked working out.
• Sunil Shetty once said about Celina Jaitley: 'She is one of the most underrated actresses in Bollywood. In 'Apna Sapna Money Money', she stole every scene she was in.' He said this during a promotional interview for 'Thank You' (2011).
• Their pairing in 'Apna Sapna Money Money' (2006) was so well-received that the film's director, Sangeeth Sivan, specifically wrote a bigger role for Celina in the sequel 'Apna Sapna Money Money 2' (which never got made). That sequel was greenlit only because of the audience's reaction to their chemistry.
