Celina Jaitly says she was forced out of her home three weeks after childbirth

Celina Jaitly has alleged that her husband, hotelier Peter Haag has pushed her out of the home just three weeks after having given birth. According to Jaitly, she was still recovering and learning to walk once again when Peter Haag forcefully grabbed her wrist and shoved her out of their flat with the words “get out” and left her in the hallway dressed as if she were breastfeeding. In describing her experiences of the domestic violence case against Peter, Celina has cited numerous examples of psychological and physical abuse she has experienced throughout her marriage.

Domestic violence and other allegations against Peter Haag

Karanjawala & Co., the law firm representing Celina Jaitly, has submitted a report under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which states that at three weeks post-partum: "Her stitches haven't healed, and she was having difficulty walking." Celina sought to create a more supportive environment by requesting an extension to her husband's paternity leave so he could assist her with the children while her stitches healed. Her husband's response was one of rage; he verbally berated Celina, then physically forced her out of the apartment and said, "Get out of my life." Stranded in the hallway in her nursing clothes, a neighbour came to her aid.

The couple’s marriage was established in 2010, when Peter began pressuring the actress to change the ownership of their home in Mumbai to him. During some of her weakest moments, such as the death of their infant baby in 2017 and when her parents passed away, she says that Peter forced her to give the house to him.

Celina alleges that Peter continually blocked her from working, leaving her financially dependent on him, despite her career in Bollywood and several years of professional experience before their marriage. As reported in the complaint, Celina also claims that the abuse became so severe that she had to leave their home in Austria at 4 am, returning to India while leaving behind her three children, who are currently living with Peter in Europe.

Celina is suing Peter for ₹50 crores as compensation for her lost revenue due to the alleged abuse and trauma, ₹10 lakh monthly for maintenance, for unrestricted access to her children, and for the return of her property, which she claims he has kept from her. She has publicly stated that she will fight for her honour as long as the case remains pending before the courts.
