Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly has filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her husband Peter Haag, alleging domestic violence, cruelty, and manipulation. A Mumbai court has issued a notice to Haag, an Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier, following the complaint.
Marriage and Family Background
Celina Jaitly and Haag married in Austria in 2011. The couple has three sons. They became parents to twin boys in March 2012, followed by a second set of twin boys in 2017. One of the twins born in 2017 died due to a hypoplastic heart condition.
Celina Jaitly appeared in several Hindi films including No Entry, Apna Sapna Money Money, Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Golmaal Returns, and Thank You.
Separate Legal Matter Involving Brother
In a separate legal matter last month, Jaitly approached a Delhi court seeking assistance for her brother, Major (retired) Vikrant Jaitly. She stated that he has been “illegally abducted and detained” in the United Arab Emirates.
According to her petition, her brother has resided in the UAE since 2016, where he was employed with the MATITI Group, a company engaged in trading, consultancy, and risk management services.
Allegations Against Ministry
Jaitly alleged that the Ministry of External Affairs has not secured basic information about her brother, including his welfare conditions and legal status, since his detention in September 2024.
Following the petition, the Delhi court directed authorities to facilitate contact between Jaitly and her brother, and to ensure contact between him and his wife.
Case Status
The domestic violence case filed in Mumbai court is currently in its initial stages, with notices issued to the respondent. No further details about the specific allegations or proceedings have been made public at this time.
The legal proceedings related to her brother’s detention in the UAE remain ongoing, with the court’s directive to authorities now in effect.
Both cases represent separate legal matters being pursued through different courts in India. The domestic violence case falls under the jurisdiction of the Mumbai court system, while the petition regarding her brother’s detention was filed in Delhi.
No statements from Peter Haag or the Ministry of External Affairs were immediately available regarding these matters.
