Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has opened up about the emotional turmoil she faced during one of the most difficult periods of her life, following her decision to file a domestic violence case against her husband, Peter Haag.
Taking to her Instagram account, Celina expressed her feelings, writing, “#courage #divorce | In the middle of the strongest most turbulent storm of my life I never imagined I would spend fighting alone, without any parents, without any support system. I never thought there would come a day without all the pillars on which the roof of my world once rested—my parents, my brother, my children, and the one who promised to stand by me, love me, care for me, and bear every trouble with me (sic).”
Reflecting on her solitude, she remarked that it led her to discover a stronger version of herself: “Life stripped everything away… People I trusted walked away…Promises I believed in broke in silence…But the storm did not drown me. It delivered me…It tossed me out of violent waters onto warm sands…It forced me to meet the woman inside me who refuses to die.”
In recent developments, Celina has approached a Delhi court, seeking help for her brother, Major (retired) Vikrant Jaitly, whom she claims has been “illegally abducted and detained” in the United Arab Emirates.
“My priority remains fighting for my soldier brother, fighting for my children’s love, fighting for my dignity. A DV complaint has been filed against all the atrocities, abandonment perpetrated upon me,” she stated.
Her post concluded with a powerful message: “Here is to the year that will not break me… Here is to the year I rise higher than the storm… Here is to the year I reclaim everything that was taken from me.”
Celina married the Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier on 23 August 2011 in a court ceremony. In March 2012, the couple welcomed their first set of twin sons, Winston and Viraaj. Five years later, in 2017, they became parents to another set of twin boys, Shamsher and Arthur. Tragically, they lost their newborn twin, Shamsher, in 2017.
