Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has moved a domestic violence petition in a Mumbai court against her husband, Austrian hotelier and entrepreneur Peter Haag, ANI reports. She has approached the court under the Domestic Violence Act, accusing Haag of domestic violence, cruelty and manipulation. The court has issued a formal notice to Haag; further details and the next hearing dates are awaited.
Allegations and court response
Celina’s petition lists domestic violence-related claims and seeks protection under the Domestic Violence Act. The Mumbai court’s notice to Haag is the first formal step in the legal process. No additional particulars of the allegations have been released publicly yet, and both parties are expected to appear in court as the matter proceeds.
Marriage, family and past struggles
Celina and Peter married in Austria in 2011. The couple welcomed twin sons in March 2012, and in 2017 they had another pair of twins. The family suffered a tragic loss when one of the 2017 infants passed away from a hypoplastic heart condition.
Celina, who rose to fame with films such as No Entry, Golmaal Returns, Thank You, Apna Sapna Money Money and Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, has kept a low public profile in recent years, surfacing mainly for significant personal developments.
Recent related legal step involving her brother
This domestic violence filing comes soon after another legal move by Celina. Last month she approached a Delhi court over her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly, alleging he was “illegally abducted and detained” in the United Arab Emirates, where he has lived since 2016.
- Vikrant was linked to the MATITI Group, involved in consultancy, trading and risk management services.
- Celina told the court the Ministry of External Affairs could not give the family basic information about Vikrant’s condition or legal status after his reported detention in September 2024.
- The Delhi court asked authorities to ensure the family could contact Vikrant and to facilitate communication between him, Celina and his wife.
What to expect next
Both legal matters are in early stages. The Mumbai court’s notice begins the domestic violence case process, and further hearings will clarify the allegations and any relief sought. As with any ongoing legal dispute, the courts will examine evidence before reaching conclusions, and updates will follow as proceedings continue.
These back-to-back legal developments have brought Celina and her family into the spotlight as they navigate difficult personal and legal challenges.
