German
diva Claudia Ciesla carries idol of Hindu Lord Ganesha for good luck
Nevada (US): Twenty-two-year-old German
actress-supermodel-singer Claudia Ciesla reportedly always carries an idol of
Hindu Lord Ganesha presented by her Vedic astrologer, which she claimed brought
her good luck. She is reported to have said, "I love Hinduism`s tolerance and
peaceful thinking. I have visited many temples and prayed, which is helping me
by way of hope and new energy." Applauding her interest in Hinduism, Indian American
leader Rajan Zed has urged Ciesla to seriously further explore Hinduism, oldest
and third largest religion of the world, which is rich in philosophical thought.
In a statement issued here, Zed said that if she needed any help in her Hinduism
study, he or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide. Ciesla plays Linda in
the recent movie Karma (M.R.Shahjahan), a crime thriller based on reincarnation.
She has also acted in Italian television sitcom "Outsiders in Palermo". She has
played lead in a Punjabi film titled "Ki Jana Pardes" (Why go abroad) and she
is a German journalist Serin in "10:10" (Arin Paul) in addition to delivering
its title song. Besides Bollywood, she is claimed to be getting offers from regional
Indian cinema like Tamil, Bengali, Punjabi, and Marathi. She is reportedly Catholic.
Ciesla has reportedly said that she liked Hinduism very much and had discussed
about Hindu topics such as reincarnation. She has been quoted as saying: "I think
I am very close in my way of thinking and my living philosophy to be a Hindu...
and I am sure I would like to be a Hindu when I have all the knowledge about it."
