Celina Jaitley talks about losing her children
Celina Jaitley shared videos on Instagram and wrote: “I have no choice but to share these videos. I lost my children the day I chose to leave Austria to protect my dignity, my children and my brother. In the early hours of the morning, with the help of neighbours, I quietly escaped from the systematic oppression, isolation, emotional abuse, humiliation and fear I experienced.”
Because I filed a lawsuit in India to gain access to the only roof over my head, my home that I bought with my own money in 2004, and because I sought legal help for my brother detained in the Middle East, my children were prevented from speaking to me. Despite joint custody arrangements and living orders issued by the Austrian Family Court, I am currently deprived of contact with my three children.
“
She also added: “My children have been taken to an unknown location and are being brainwashed and radicalized against their mother and her belief in Hinduism by my husband and his father.
Two weeks ago, during my divorce hearings in Austria, I stood outside my home…devastated…remembering the love, dedication, sacrifices and unconditional care with which I raised my family. Despite pledges to the court, my children were not returned.
The only child I was able to hold was my late angel Shamsher.”The actress also wrote: “In early September, I received divorce papers under the pretext of receiving what I believe to be a gift for our 15th wedding anniversary.
After that, despite years of abuse, I repeatedly sought an amicable separation, prioritizing only the well-being of our children. These efforts were met with demands regarding my maiden origins, coercion, intimidation, and attempts to strip me of my freedom, dignity, and independence.
All I asked for was my children…and what I myself contributed to this marriage, my hard-earned money, my own assets, and my sacrifices.
Everything has been taken from me over 15 years of marriage. Today, I am left with a broken heart… and a place next to my late son’s grave where I cry, pray and gather strength. This…is Mother’s Day for me. But I am the daughter of Maa Mahaalithaa Ambika, Maa Kali and Maa Durga. “I am now returning to India to fight for my children, my dignity, truth and justice.”
