India’s first gay magazine Bombay Dost was re-launched after seven years in Mumbai by actress and prominent gay rights activist Celina Jaitely.

When the first LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) magazine closed in 2002, it was blamed on a lack of funds and readership - but it’s back now!

The magazine in its new bolder than ever avatar has Celina Jaitely not only supporting it, but also writing articles for it.

Actor Celina Jaitely said, “I’m going to write for the next issue. It’s an honour. I have a lot of websites fighting for this issue.”

As part of its restructuring, Bombay Dost now plans to utilise the power of the Web to reach a wider readership base and restore its past following and fame - as India’s first magazine of interest for gay people.

Apart from the cause, Celina was also excited about her 8 releases this year starting with Paying Guest.

Jaitely said, “My next is Paying Guest with Mukta arts and Shreyas Talpade. It’s a comedy film based in Thailand .. based on a famous Marathi play Paying Guest. People will love it because they will see me again with Shreyas after Golmaal Returns acting mad as usual.
