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.”
