Bollywood Star Celina Jaitly: ‘Stripped of Everything’ in Explosive Domestic Violence Case

In a dramatic and heart-wrenching legal development, Bollywood actress and former Miss India Celina Jaitly has filed a comprehensive domestic violence petition against her estranged Austrian husband, Peter Haag, in a Mumbai court. The petition outlines a chilling litany of ten explosive claims, alleging years of sustained cruelty, manipulation, and abuse that she asserts have left her “stripped of everything.” Jaitly is seeking a staggering ₹50 crore in damages, alongside ₹10 lakh in monthly maintenance, compensation for loss of earnings, and unhindered access to her three young sons, who are currently residing with Haag in Austria.

The legal complaint, filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, details allegations spanning emotional, physical, sexual, verbal, and financial abuse. Central to her claim is the assertion that Haag, whom she describes as “narcissistic” and prone to “alcoholic tendencies,” systematically dismantled her career and financial independence, forcing her to abandon her professional life. In one particularly damaging allegation, Jaitly claims she was coerced into transferring ownership of her Mumbai residence to Haag via a “gift deed” during a period of deep vulnerability following the loss of her newborn child and both her parents.

Further accusations include being subjected to racial and degrading remarks, where Haag allegedly referred to her as his “maidservant.” The cumulative effect of the abuse, the plea states, was so severe that she was forced to flee their home in Austria one night and return to India without her children. The court has issued a notice to Peter Haag, with the next hearing scheduled for December 12, signaling the start of what promises to be one of Bollywood’s most scrutinized and high-stakes legal battles, shining a harsh light on celebrity domestic turmoil.
