Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly has been served two separate legal notices by her estranged husband, Peter Haag, and his father, DI Wolfgang J. Haag. The notices accuse Jaitly of conducting a public campaign filled with false, misleading, and sensationalized claims regarding their ongoing matrimonial and child custody disputes. Issued through Mumbai-based law firm Semwal & Co., the legal actions allege that Jaitly’s public statements amount to defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The legal notices demand that Jaitly immediately remove the allegedly defamatory content from her social media platforms, cease making public comments about the active court proceedings, and issue a formal public apology. According to a detailed report by Hindustan Times, the Haag family asserts that her ongoing public commentary has caused significant harm to their personal reputation and violated the privacy of their minor children under Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
This legal move follows a major escalation earlier in May 2026, when Jaitly filed a First Information Report at the Versova Police Station in Mumbai. As documented in a report by The Indian Express, the police issued a Look Out Circular against Haag following Jaitly’s allegations of cruelty and physical harassment. Jaitly previously claimed on social media that she was entirely cut off from communicating with her three children, alleging they had been hidden away in an undisclosed location, assertions that the Haag family strongly denies.
Active custody proceedings remain under review within the Austrian court system. Solicitor Yesha Shah, a partner at Semwal & Co., verified the issuance of the notices on behalf of the Haag family and indicated that further civil and criminal actions for damages will be pursued if Jaitly fails to comply with the demands.
