Let us tell you that Celina Jaitly has been an active supporter of them and has always raised her voice in favor of them. With the government too changing its outlook towards this community and their rights, Ram Kamal Mukherjee has decided to dedicate a film celebrating the work of openly gay filmmaker Rituparna Ghosh. And this will be Celina Jaitly’s comeback film.

Everyone who is aware of Celina Jaitly and her staunch support that has never wavered towards the LGBTQIA wouldn’t be surprised at the actress’ choice to make this her comeback film. Speaking on her decision, the actress not only expressed her excitement of doing this Ram Kamal film but also added that when she heard the story she got goosebumps.

Furthermore, she was also all praise for Mukherjee’s work and recalled the first time when she met him in Egypt. She lauded his knowledge and skills and also mentioned that she will be shooting in Kolkata for the first time.

On the other hand, Celina Jaitly also spoke about her story in recent reports as to what prompted her to support the cause for LGBTQIA.
