Celina Jaitly Fires Back at Ex-Husband's Defamation Threat

Actress Celina Jaitly has issued a detailed statement in response to legal notices received from her estranged husband, Peter Haag, and his father, Wolfgang Haag. The notices alleged she circulated false and defamatory statements, while matrimonial and child custody proceedings are ongoing in Austria.

Jaitly's legal representatives have submitted a formal reply, asserting that the notices are an attempt to divert attention from police complaints, allegations of violence, and documented evidence presented before authorities. She argued that discussing personal experiences and pursuing lawful remedies does not constitute defamation, recalling past public embrace of publicity involving her family.

She questioned the timing of the legal notices, noting they arrived after she began speaking publicly about her experiences and custody concerns. Jaitly affirmed her commitment to joint custody and amicable divorce, yet stated she remains unable to contact her children despite court orders, highlighting their centrality to her legal fight. She expressed concerns about her children's potential relocation outside Austrian and Indian jurisdictions.

Jaitly claimed to have faced intimidation in Austria and believes efforts are being made to silence her for refusing to remain quiet. She reiterated her resolve to continue pursuing legal remedies, expressing full faith in the judicial systems of both India and Austria, and will not be intimidated.
