Celina Jaitly files for divorce from Peter Haag, accused him of domestic violence, verbal abuse

Dubai: Actress Celina Jaitly has moved to end her marriage with Austrian hotelier and entrepreneur Peter Haag, following a domestic violence complaint filed earlier this week.

After news of her legal action broke, Jaitly took to Instagram to share an emotional statement, accompanied by her photograph. Her post opened with two striking hashtags: #courage #divorce.

“In the middle of the strongest, most turbulent storm of my life, I never imagined I would be fighting alone—without any parents, without any support system,” she wrote.

“I never thought there would come a day without all the pillars on which the roof of my world once rested: my parents, my brother, my children, and the one who promised to stand by me, love me, care for me, and bear every trouble with me.”

The former Miss India expressed deep anguish over the breakdown of trust and support, noting that those she relied on had walked away.

“I am a soldier’s daughter. Raised on courage, discipline, grit, resilience, fire and faith,” she continued.

“I have been taught to get up when the world wants me to fall, to fight when my heart is breaking, to show no mercy when I have been wronged, to survive even when it feels impossible.”

Confirming her legal action, Jaitly stated that she has filed a divorce petition against Haag as well as a domestic violence complaint over what she described as “atrocities and abandonment.”

She stressed that her current priorities are protecting her dignity, seeking justice, and fighting for the love and welfare of her children.

Due to ongoing proceedings, the actress said she is legally restricted from discussing the matter publicly and directed media queries to her legal team.

She ended her post on a determined note:

“Here is to the year that will not break me. Here is to the year I rise higher than the storm. Here is to the year I reclaim everything that was taken from me.”

Known for her roles in No Entry, Golmaal Returns, Thank You, Apna Sapna Money Money, and Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Jaitly has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, making headlines primarily for personal milestones. She married Peter Haag in Austria in 2011. The couple welcomed twin sons in March 2012 and became parents to another set of twins in 2017. Tragically, one of their newborns passed away shortly after birth due to a hypoplastic heart condition.
