Celina Jaitly reveals twin sons read out her German divorce notice

Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly has opened up about the emotional toll of her ongoing divorce battle with her estranged husband, Peter Haag. In a painful recollection, Celina revealed that her twin sons had to read her Austrian divorce petition aloud because the entire legal document was drafted in high-level German.

The incident unfolded on what was supposed to be a celebratory occasion: the couple’s 15th wedding anniversary. Celina explained that Peter drove her to the post office to collect the official documents but flatly refused to translate the contents for her. Not fluent in the language, she initially mistook the envelope for routine correspondence regarding her residency or municipal updates.

Upon returning to their home, Celina found her young twins completing their homework. Unaware of the devastating nature of the paperwork, she asked them to look over the text to save time on translation. The children then read out the petition, which contained bizarre allegations against her and stated that the marriage had reached an irretrievable breakdown.

The former beauty queen described the moment as completely surreal, initially believing it was an elaborate joke. Following advice from a judge to separate amicably, Celina proposed a settlement requesting only her personal investments, assets and joint custody. However, she alleged that Peter later issued an ultimatum, stating she must find a job within Austria to retain access to her children, even suggesting employment as a supermarket cleaner.

The couple married in 2010 and share three children. The legal dispute escalated in November 2025 when Celina filed a case under India's Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, accusing Peter of continuous abuse. While the Mumbai Police subsequently registered an FIR, Peter and his family have strongly denied all claims of harassment. Represented by their legal counsel, they have since issued counter-notices accusing Celina of public defamation.
