Actor Celina Jaitly Files Domestic Violence Case Against Husband In Mumbai Court, Seeks ₹50 Crore Compensation

Ms India winner and Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly has filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her husband, Peter Haag, alleging domestic violence, cruelty, and manipulation. She has also sought Rs 50 crore as compensation, claiming loss of earnings due to his conduct.

The matter came up today before the Court of Sh. S.C. Tadye, Ld. Judicial Magistrate First Class, Andheri, for verification and issuance of notice. After verifying the complaint, the Court directed that notice be issued to Mr Peter Haag.

The case is next listed for December 12.

In her petition, Jaitly has alleged that her husband is a “narcissistic” and “self-absorbed” individual who “shows no empathy” towards her or their children. She states that she suffered sustained emotional, physical, sexual, and verbal abuse, which eventually compelled her to leave their home in Austria and return to India.

The actress has sought ₹10 lakh per month as maintenance and has requested that the court restrain Haag from entering her Mumbai residence. She has also sought custody of their three children, who are currently residing with Haag in Austria.

Addressing the proceedings in an Instagram post, the actor said, "In my darkest hour, the legal force to reckon with, Karanjawala & Co, became the shield I needed to fight for my dignity and rights. I am so grateful for their unwavering understanding and protection. As my matter is sub judice, I am unable to make any comments at this time. I kindly request you to contact my legal representatives for any official information or statements.”
