Actor Celina Jaitly has taken her legal battle onto social media, using Instagram to describe what she says is a slow and painful separation from her children, played out across borders and legal systems.

In an emotional post, the 44-year-old says she has been denied access to her three sons, despite what she describes as joint custody orders from an Austrian family court.

Posting a photograph with her children, the Hello Darling actor wrote: “11 Oct 2025, at 1 AM, I left Austria with the assistance of neighbours to escape what I had experienced as systematic oppression & abuse.”

Jaitly said she returned to India with very little money and was forced to approach the courts simply to enter her own home.

“In India, I had to approach the court simply to enter & access my own house, a property purchased by me in 2004, long before my marriage,” she wrote, adding that she had to take out a large loan to pursue her case.

The Thank You actress added, “Despite joint custody & a subsisting order of the Austrian Family Court, I am presently DENIED ANY COMMUNICATION with my 3 children & I am heartbroken!” she said, alleging “brainwashing & intimidation”.

She also claimed she was served divorce papers on her wedding anniversary, and said her attempts at an amicable separation were rejected. “My entire world was snatched from me in one moment,” she wrote.

The Janasheen star concluded by saying she remains without access to her children “simply because I chose to stand up & fight for my rights.”

Celina Jaitly married Peter Haag in 2010. They have three sons. A fourth child, Shamsher, died earlier due to a heart condition.

In November 2025,she filed a case in a Mumbai court against her husband, Austrian entrepreneur Peter Haag, accusing him of domestic violence, cruelty and manipulation.

She is seeking ₹50 crores and other sums, saying she has suffered financial and personal loss. Haag has not publicly responded to the allegations.
