Former Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has shared a deeply moving account of her current personal and legal struggles. She recently posted a video showing herself visiting and cleaning the grave of her late son, Shamsher, in Austria. According to the actress, she felt forced to share this private moment to show the world the trauma she is facing as a mother. She is currently going through a contentious divorce from her husband, Peter Haag, and claims she has been separated from her living children.
Allegations of Isolation and Broken Promises
In her detailed social media post, Celina explained that her children were moved to an undisclosed location despite a court undertaking. Although she traveled to Austria for a divorce hearing, she was unable to meet her three surviving sons. She expressed her devastation, stating that the only child she could “visit” was her son who passed away years ago. Consequently, she feels heartbroken and denied any communication with her children, despite having a joint custody order from the Austrian Family Court.
Sacrifices and Financial Struggles
Celina also detailed the significant personal sacrifices she made during her 15-year marriage. She left her career in India and moved across multiple countries, including Dubai and Singapore, to support her husband’s professional ambitions. While standing by him, she says she single-handedly raised their children. However, she now claims her assets are being taken away “piece by piece.” She further alleged that her husband’s legal demands focus on her premarital assets rather than the welfare of their children.
Accusations of Brainwashing and Interference
The actress leveled serious allegations regarding the treatment of her children during this separation. She claims that her children are being exposed to selective media narratives and are facing intimidation. According to Celina, they are being brainwashed to speak against her, which obstructs any chance of a healthy parent-child relationship. She also described the shocking way she received her divorce notice; she says her husband served it to her under the pretext of picking up a 15th-anniversary gift at a post office.
Background of the Marriage
Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag married in 2010 and later welcomed two sets of twin boys. Their first set of twins, Winston and Vijaaj, was born in 2012, followed by Arthur and Shamsher in 2017. Tragically, Shamsher passed away shortly after birth due to a heart condition. Celina concluded her post by emphasizing that she has always sought an amicable separation, but she continues to face conditions intended to strip her of her dignity and freedom.
