Actor Celina Jaitly has shared fresh details about her ongoing divorce proceedings with estranged husband Peter Haag, describing a moment she says remains one of the most painful experiences of the legal battle.
In a recent interview, Celina revealed that her twin sons ended up reading her divorce notice because the document was written in German, a language she says she was not fluent enough to fully understand at the time.
Divorce Notice Arrived on Wedding Anniversary
According to Celina, the notice arrived on what was supposed to be a special day for the couple—their wedding anniversary.
She said she initially believed the document was related to residency or local administrative matters. After returning home, she asked her twin sons to help her understand the contents because the language used in the notice was difficult for her to translate quickly.

Speaking about the experience, she said she initially struggled to believe what she was reading and described the moment as emotionally overwhelming.

According to her account, she requested the return of her investments and assets while expressing a desire to continue a joint custody arrangement for their children.
She also alleged that during discussions about the future, she was told she would need to secure employment in Austria if she wanted continued access to her children.

Domestic Violence Complaint and FIR
In November 2025, Celina filed legal proceedings under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, alleging that she had been subjected to domestic violence during the marriage.
Media reports later stated that Mumbai Police registered an FIR following a complaint filed by the actor. She has also sought maintenance and compensation through legal channels.
In addition, Celina has publicly alleged that she has faced difficulties accessing her children despite the existence of a joint custody arrangement.
Legal Notices From Peter Haag and His Father
The dispute has also involved legal notices exchanged between the parties.
In May, Mumbai-based law firm Semwal & Co. confirmed that Peter Haag and his father, Wolfgang J. Haag, had issued separate legal notices to Celina.
According to the notices, they objected to statements made by the actor in interviews and on social media regarding the ongoing divorce and custody proceedings. The notices reportedly denied allegations of abuse, harassment, and intimidation.
They also objected to public references involving the couple’s children and sought the removal of content they considered defamatory. The notices further called for a public apology and warned of possible legal action if their demands were not met.
Case Remains Ongoing
The divorce proceedings, custody issues, and related legal matters remain active. Both sides have publicly presented differing accounts regarding the circumstances surrounding their separation.
As of now, no final court ruling has been announced concerning the various allegations and counter-allegations made during the dispute.
Celina’s latest comments provide further insight into her personal experience as the legal process continues, while the broader issues raised in the case remain subject to ongoing judicial proceedings.
