Celina Jaitly has been undergoing a turbulent phase in her personal life lately. The actress has filed a case against her husband, Peter Haag, accusing him of domestic violence, cruelty and manipulation, seeking Rs 50 crore in compensation. Amid this, Celina has been vocal about the emotional turmoil of staying away from her two boys, Winston and Viraaj. On Mother`s Day, Celina shared a heartbreaking note on Instagram, sharing how she is being denied access to her own kids. She was seen visiting the grave of her late son, Shamsher, during her recent trip to Austria.
Celina says her children are being brainwashed
In the note, Celina said, “I have no option but to share these videos. I lost my children the day I chose to leave Austria to protect my dignity, my children, and my brother. In the early hours of the morning, with the help of neighbours, I quietly escaped what I had experienced as systematic oppression, isolation, emotional abuse, humiliation and fear. Because I filed legal proceedings in India to access the only roof above my head, my own home, purchased with my own money in 2004, and because I sought legal help for my brother detained in the Middle East, my children were blocked from speaking with me.”

“Despite joint custody arrangements and subsisting orders of the Austrian Family Court, I am presently denied communication with my 3 children. My children have been moved to an undisclosed location and are being brainwashed and radicalised against their own mother and her faith in Hinduism by my husband and his father. 2 weeks ago, during my divorce hearings in Austria, I stood outside my own home… broken… remembering the love, devotion, sacrifices and unconditional care with which I raised my family,” she further added.
The actor went on share, “Despite undertakings before the court, my children were not brought back. The only child I got to hold… was my departed angel, Shamsher. In early September, I was served divorce papers under the pretext of receiving what I believed was a gift for our 15th wedding anniversary. Thereafter, despite years of abuse, I repeatedly sought an amicable separation, prioritising only the welfare of our children. Those efforts were met with demands relating to my premarital assets, coercion, intimidation, and attempts to strip me of my freedom, dignity and independence.”
“All I ever asked for… was my children… and what I myself contributed to this marriage, my own hard earned money, my own assets, my own sacrifices. Everything was taken from me over 15 years of marriage. Today, I am left with a broken heart… and a place beside my departed son’s grave where I cry, pray and gather strength. This… is Mother’s Day for me. But I am the daughter of Maa Mahalalitha Ambika, Maa Kali, and Maa Durga. I now return to India to fight for my children, my dignity, truth and justice,” Celina concluded.
