Celina Jaitly Accuses Husband Of Violence, Seeks Rs 50 Crore For Losses

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic violence case against her husband, Peter Haag, and sought Rs 50 crore for loss of earnings due to him. Jaitly and Haag got married in 2010 and have three children -- Winston, Viraaj and Arthur.

Jaitly, known for her work in films like No Entry, Apna Sapna Money Money, Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Golmaal Returns, and Thank You, filed a petition in a Mumbai court on November 21, following which a notice was issued to Haag, an Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier.

In her petition, Jaitly, 47, said that 48-year-old Haag is a "narcissist" and "self-absorbed individual" who demonstrates "no empathy" for her or their children.

She claimed she has suffered severe emotional, physical, sexual, and verbal abuse by her husband, because of which she was forced to flee her home in Austria and return to India.

The actress, represented by a team from law firm Karanjawala & Co., sought Rs 10 lakh monthly maintenance and urged the court to restrain Haag from entering her Mumbai residence. She also sought custody of their three children, who are presently living with Haag in Austria.

She said that Haag, after they had children, "prohibited" her from working on various pretexts and "robbed her of her financial independence and dignity".

She said she was only able to undertake "small projects with the permission" of Haag from time to time.

Her plea further said that Haag had filed a divorce application before a court in Austria in August this year.

Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag became parents to twin boys in March 2012. Five years later, she gave birth to a second set of twin boys, one of whom died due to a hypoplastic heart.

The former Miss India and Miss Universe runner-up had also penned a long romantic post on social media for Haag on their anniversary last year.

"14 years ago today Peter Haag flew down to Mumbai for 8 hours only (he had an important meeting the next day) to meet my father and mother. I did not know he asked for their permission to propose to me... That very same night before departure, he proposed to me with a ring," she wrote on Instagram.

She said he proposed to her at the same place where her mother had told her she would find her “right one”.

“She had predicted at the very same spot, on the very same sofa that Peter proposed to me on that : “The wrong one will find you in peace and leave you in pieces, but the right one will find you in pieces and lead you to peace.” Today 14 years later, after many highs and many, many lows, we look back together on all the things that we were destined to endure,” she said.

“Marriage should be above all small bickerings … Marriage should be above everything that makes us human,” she said.
