MOVIE DESK: Celina Jaitly’s Shocking Abuse Claims Surface
Bollywood actress and former Miss India Celina Jaitly has taken legal action against her husband, Austrian hotelier Peter Haag.
She filed a domestic violence case in a Mumbai court late last month.
The petition includes serious allegations spanning their long marriage.
Serious Allegations in the Petition
Jaitly claims she endured physical, emotional, verbal, and financial abuse over the years.
She states that Haag controlled her career choices and restricted her financial independence.
Additional accusations involve coercive behavior that impacted her professional opportunities and personal dignity.
Financial and Custody Requests
The actress is seeking substantial compensation, reportedly up to Rs 100 crore in some updates.
She has also requested monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakh.
Jaitly is pursuing custody arrangements for their three children, who remain in Austria with their father.
Parallel Legal Proceedings
Haag initiated divorce proceedings in an Austrian court earlier this year.
Both cases are moving forward separately in their respective jurisdictions.
This adds complexity to the ongoing family dispute.
Recent Court Developments
In a hearing last week, the Andheri court directed both parties to submit income details.
Affidavits are due by January 27 next year.
The court will then review interim requests and Haag’s formal response to the complaint.
Key Case Details
- Filed under India’s Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.
- Initial petition submitted around November 25.
- Next hearing scheduled for January 27, 2026.
This matter highlights the challenges in cross-border marital disputes involving high-profile individuals.
