The Bollywood actor, who has a long-standing relationship with the country through her work as brand ambassador, spoke about the situation to The Times of India.
Jaitley commented: "The winds of change are blowing through Egypt. Whatever happens next will impact Egypt and its people in a big way. My prayers are that, whatever the outcome, it should be of a positive nature."
The star, who recently appeared on the jury of the Cairo Film Festival, added: "My only fear is that extremist elements in Egypt might manipulate the current situation for nefarious ends."
The actress revealed that there was no indication of protest during her last visit to the region at the end of 2010.
A number of Hindi films including Singh is Kinng and Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham have used Cairo as a shooting location.
