Celina Jaitly has found herself in the middle of a controversy after her husband, Peter Haag and father-in-law sent her defamation notices. For the unversed, the former actress filed against her husband under the Domestic Violence Act. Following this, she reportedly received a defamation notice from her estranged husband and father-in-law.
What did Celina Jaitly say after receiving defamation notices?
Sharing the post, Celina wrote in the caption, “PUBLIC STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO RECENT LEGAL NOTICES BY MY ESTRANGED HUSBAND AND HIS FATHER.”
The statement reads, “Two legal notices have recently been sent to me by my estranged husband Peter & his father Wolfgang Haag, threatening to sue me for defamation. A response has aptly been submitted through my legal representatives, advocates at Karanjawala & Co.”
She continued, “In my view, these notices are an attempt to divert attention from police complaints, lookout notices, allegations of violence, documented evidence before the competent authorities & pending before the courts. Speaking about my lived experiences & pursuing lawful remedies is not defamation.”
What did Celina say about her divorce battle?
While talking about her children and battle for joint custody, the actress further said, “Let me be clear: These are my children too. I am their mother & they are the reason I continue this fight. I have consistently supported joint custody & amicable divorce. Yet despite court orders, I remain without contact with my children just because I chose to fight for my rights. Consistent efforts are being made to remove me from my role as my children’s mother. My public appeals arose from concerns about my children’s removal from the marital residence & the possibility of them being moved outside the jurisdiction of the Austrian & Indian courts without my knowledge or consent. As a mother with joint custody, I believed it is both my right & responsibility to raise those concerns.”

Celina Jaitly married Peter Haag, who is an Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier, in 2011. They welcomed twin boys in 2012 and another set of twins in 2017. One of the newborns tragically passed away shortly after birth.
