A loving Valentine event became a celebrity rant for feisty Celina Jaitley.

The former Miss India says she had a harrowing experience when flying from New Delhi to Mumbai.

While preparing to board her morning flight she ran foul of security procedures at the airport.

While she was being frisked by airport staff her expensive state-of-the-art gadgets including an iPod and Blackberry telephone were scratched by security officials.

"I agree that authorities there are doing their duty and we too are completely cooperating with the security measures. It is for our own benefit and I understand that we should comply with them. However, who gives them the right to mishandle things belonging to others? It was heartbreaking to see my stuff in a bad shape. Both my iPod as well as Blackberry have lost their sheen due to callous attitude of men who were doing the scan," Celina told our sources.

"These guys don't know how to behave with women. I went up to the officer in charge and all he could say was 'sorry'. Also, they told me in no uncertain terms that they couldn't repair what was broken. Moreover, the guys who did it were grinning in front of him. What a shame! Someone ought to teach these cops how to behave with women", she said.

It wasn't just the material loss that angered Celina. She also saw an old female passenger being pushed around. When she approached the officer in charge, all she got from him was a further 'sorry'.

"I was not only angry with them for breaking my stuff but for their misbehavior with other women. They are there to secure us and not to humiliate, insult and manhandle us, especially women. They are misusing the power of uniform everywhere now-a-days. At the end of the day we are paying passengers and they can't break our things, insult us and indulge in indecent behaviour," she said.
