Bollywood actor and former Miss India, Celina Jaitly, has taken a significant legal step by moving a Mumbai court to file a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her estranged husband, Austrian businessman Peter Haag.
The petition outlines a pattern of “severe emotional, physical, verbal, and financial abuse” that allegedly spanned their marriage, compelling her to flee their shared home in Austria and return to India.
Amid the high-stakes legal battle, Celina Jaitly has made a deeply emotional appeal to the media. In a heartfelt request, the actress urged photographers and news outlets to “please refrain from using my children’s photographs in any news coverage regarding my legal cases.”
Signing off as “A Mother with a broken heart,” the plea underscores her priority of protecting her three sons from the intense scrutiny surrounding the cross-border legal proceedings.
