Twenty years after the debut of Jawani Diwani: A Youthful Joyride, Celina Jaitly is finally regaining her voice and revealing the emotional betrayal she endured, both as an actress and through her persona Roma Fernandez. Celina shared in a heartfelt blog that the movie's original promise of depicting a woman's emotional journey was sacrificed in favor of a male-centric extravaganza.

Jawani Diwani's creators, according to Celina Jaitly, betrayed her.

"I would have told this film from the perspective of the heart, from a place of raw, real emotion, had I directed it," Celina wrote in the caption of a montage video she posted on Instagram on Tuesday of her and Emraan Hashmi's scenes from Jawani Diwani. I would have never let HER: ROMA FERNANDEZ be with someone who treated her poorly, took advantage of her, or lowered her value. In accordance with the director's tale, I would have paid respect to her voyage.

She also confessed to being "betrayed" as an actor in the film, saying, "But just like my character was betrayed in the story, I too was betrayed, as an actor. The serial kisser took over the narrative that was supposed to be about her, while the woman who was kissed and thought it was love was ignored.

Celina made it clear that her tweet was directed at the filmmakers, not at Emraan. “This is not against my amazing co-star; this is against the mentality of the makers at the time, who chose spectacle over sincerity and diluted a woman’s voice for commercial convenience,” she added.

The movie was directed by Manish Sharma and starred Emraan Hashmi, Celina, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Tiku Talsania, and Mahesh Manjrekar in important roles. The movie, which is famous for its upbeat music and lighthearted humor, tells the tale of an aspiring singer who is torn between love, aspirations, and problematic relationships. The movie received mixed feedback for its storyline and treatment of characters, especially its handling of the female lead's arc.

Celina has been absent from the big screen for a while. In the 2011 Kannada movie Shrimathi, the actor made his last appearance on the big screen. Prem Chopra, Sayaji Shinde, and Rekha Das played supporting roles in the movie, which also starred Priyanka Trivedi and Upendra in the main roles.
