Celina Jaitly breaks silence
Celina shared a note on her Instagram page on Tuesday afternoon, along with a picture of herself sitting by the window in a green saree holding flowers in her hands. The note began with the hashtags ‘courage’ and ‘divorce’, as she further penned, “In the middle of the strongest most turbulent storm of my life I never imagined I would spend fighting alone, without any parents, without any support system I never thought there would come a day without all the pillars on which the roof of my world once rested, my parents, my brother, my children, & the one who promised to stand by me, love me, care for me, & bear every trouble with me.”
The actor also penned a poem, adding, “Life stripped everything away, People I trusted walked away. Promises I believed in broke in silence, but the storm did not drown me. It delivered me, it tossed me out of violent waters onto warm sands. It forced me to meet the woman inside me who refuses to die. Because I am a soldier’s daughter, raised on courage, discipline, grit, resilience, fire & faith. I have been taught to get up when the world wants me to fall, to fight when my heart is breaking, to show no mercy when I have been wronged, to survive even when it feels impossible.”
The actor stated that she chooses to focus on bringing back her soldier brother, who has been detained in the UAE for about a year. The actress added, “My priority remains fighting for my soldier brother, fighting for my children’s love, fighting for my dignity.” Thanking her legal team, she wrote, “In my darkest hour, the legal force to reckon with, Karanjawala & Co, became the shield I needed to fight for my dignity and rights. I am so grateful for their unwavering understanding and protection.”
She concluded the note clarifying, “As my matter is subjudice, I am unable to make any comments at this time.”
