Actor Celina Jaitly has sought compensation of Rs 100 crore and monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakh in a domestic violence case filed against her estranged husband, Austrian hotelier Peter Haag.
The matter came up for hearing before a metropolitan magistrate’s court in Andheri, where both parties appeared and were directed to submit their income affidavits by January 27.
In her petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, Jaitly has alleged that she suffered prolonged physical, verbal, and emotional abuse during their fifteen year marriage. She has stated that the relationship caused her severe personal and professional setbacks, compelling her to seek substantial compensation for the trauma and financial losses she claims to have endured.
Jaitly has also demanded monthly maintenance, asserting that she was systematically deprived of financial independence over the years. According to her complaint, she was restricted from pursuing work opportunities, denied access to her own earnings, and made financially dependent, leaving her vulnerable despite a long standing career in the entertainment industry.
The actor has further accused Haag of financial misconduct, claiming he controlled her bank accounts, used her cards, and handled her personal documents. A dispute over property also forms a central part of the case, with Jaitly alleging that a Mumbai flat was transferred under distress and later monetised without her consent.
The court has sought detailed financial disclosures from both sides before considering interim relief on compensation and maintenance. The next hearing is scheduled for January 27, when the court is expected to review the affidavits and take the matter forward.
