Seeks Rs 50 crore as compensation
Actor Celina Jaitly has filed a case of domestic violence against her husband, Peter Haag, before the Judicial Magistrate First Class in the Andheri court in Mumbai.
As per the court documents, Celina has filed the case under Section 23 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2025, for interim and ex parte relief. She has sought damages of Rs 50 crores and other sums in lieu of her loss of source of income and property. The case has been verified, and a notice has been sent to Peter Haag, a resident of Austria, for December 12, 2025.
Claiming that her husband ‘prohibited her from working on various pretexts and robbed her of her financial independence and dignity’, Celina, in the petition, accused Peter Haag of pressurising her to transfer ownership of her residence at Mumbai to his name while she was undergoing severe depression after the death of her newborn child and both parents within a few months of each other.”
She was also subjected to ‘severe emotional, physical, sexual, verbal and financial abuse’ by her husband, forcing her to flee their home in Austria and return to India without her children.
Ever since, the actor has been seeking legal redress for the illegal transfer of Mumbai; however, she has been blocked from all her access to her children, she mentioned in the petition. Further in her plea, Celina Jaitly has sought protection from her husband under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag got married on September 18, 2010 at the actor’s residence in Mumbai, as per Hindu rituals. (ANI)
