Celina Jaitly Alleges Husband Peter Haag Blackmailed Her With Nude Pics, Forced Sexual Demands

Bollywood actor and former Miss India Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic‑violence and abuse complaint against her husband, Austrian businessman Peter Haag. In her plea filed in a Mumbai court, she claims that over the years, Haag subjected her to a harrowing mix of emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse, which included blackmail with intimate photographs and demands that she sleep with other men.

She also claimed that he even threatened her using the 2012 Delhi gangrape case during their fights. The document stated that he began threatening Celina that he would 'thrust a rod in her vagina' and would tell her that she deserved such treatment. "Celina felt extremely scared by such aggressive statements," it added.

Here's a breakdown of the most shocking allegations and what they reveal about the dark side of fame, relationships, and abuse.

The Allegations: What Celina Claims Happened

  • Nude photos & blackmail: Celina claimed Haag took naked pictures of her without her permission and later used them to blackmail her. The complaint states these photos were used as leverage, pressuring her into compliance with his sexual demands.
  • Pressure to sleep with other men: She alleged that between the years 2014 and 2015, Haag coldly suggested she engage in a sexual relationship with a member of his company's board of directors as a means of advancing his career.
  • "Unnatural" sexual acts and coercion: The complaint speaks of forced sexual relations on Haag's terms, including acts she did not consent to while emotional intimacy was withheld.
  • Emotional, verbal, and physical abuse: Apart from the sexual abuses, Celina accuses Haag of repeated humiliation, calling her derogatory names, even in front of their children - racist remarks, controlling her finances, and forbidding her from working.
  • She also claimed that he even threatened her using the 2012 Delhi gangrape case during their fights. The document stated that he began threatening Celina that he would 'thrust a rod in her vagina' and would tell her that she deserved such treatment. "Celina felt extremely scared by such aggressive statements," it added.
  • Financial coercion & manipulation: The filing describes how Haag systematically undermined her financial autonomy by commanding and otherwise pressuring her to transfer property rights under duress, even after she had experienced personal tragedies.
  • Loss of access to children: As of now, Celina said that her three sons, twins and a younger child are in their father's custody in Austria, with Haag allegedly denying her "unhindered virtual or telephonic access."

What She's Seeking: Justice, Dignity, Compensation

In her plea filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, Celina has sought ₹50 crore as compensation for "loss of earnings, trauma and abuse." She has also demanded ₹10 lakh per month as maintenance.

She has also sought a court directive to continue to have virtual and telephonic contact with her children uninterruptedly, as she considers this a necessary step in the wake of alleged isolation and control by her husband.

Other pleas include restitution of jewellery, documents, and assets that she claims were transferred under duress.

  • Celina and Peter reportedly married in 2010.
  • They share three children: twin boys born in 2012 and another child born in 2017. Tragedy struck earlier when the couple lost a new born due to a heart condition.
  • The current legal filing in Mumbai came on 21 November 2025, and a judicial notice has been issued to Haag. The next hearing is scheduled for 12 December 2025.
  • Celina asserts the abuse escalated over the years, culminating in her fleeing their home in Austria with little to nothing, returning to India in search of safety and dignity.

Bigger Picture: What This Means for Victims and Public Discourse

The allegations brought forth by Celina put into stark light how abuse can be shrouded by glamour, privilege, and public visibility. Her case underlines several painful yet imperative realities:

  • Domestic abuse is not just physical; it can be financial, emotional, and psychological. Control over career, finances, and children is often the tool an abuser will use to trap a victim.
  • Victims of all statuses can still feel powerless, especially when blackmail and threats over intimate photos come into play.
  • The societal stigma against speaking up makes it more difficult for survivors to come out; if a public figure speaks up, that may well embolden an array of others to seek help.
  • The legal frameworks, such as the Domestic Violence Act, are essential, but safety actually lies in their implementation. Victims must be guaranteed to recover lost control, dignity, and custody rights without any intimidation.

What's Next in the Case

The court in Mumbai has issued a notice to Peter Haag, and the case is officially in process. Celina continues to maintain that she wants justice, not just compensation; her fight is for "dignity, safety and truth." As this case unfolds, it may prove to be a landmark example of how even high-profile relationships are not immune to abuse, and why speaking out matters.
