Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic violence case against her husband Peter Haag, accusing him of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
Austrian hotelier Peter Haag was given notice by Mumbai court after she filed a case against him under the Domestic Violence Act for cruelty, manipulation, and abuse. The actress, who made her Bollywood debut with 2003's Janasheen, has alleged emotional, physical, sexual and verbal abuse at the hands of the businessman.

Who Is Peter Haag?
As per Reports, Peter Haag is an Austrian entrepreneur, hotelier, marketing professional, and brand strategist. According to reports, he has worked in the hospitality industry with top hotel chains in Dubai and Singapore.
Once Jaitly opened about meeting Haag, saying, “It was a family gathering at a wonderful lounge and Peter was also invited to it. There was an intense recognition in a part of me when I first saw Peter. Actually we did not speak to each other but I just knew from the moment he walked in that he was my husband even though we had never met before.”
"It's weird but the moment I saw him walk in wearing a tailored black suit I thought to myself - 'Oh...there walks in my husband' - and then I just shuddered and shrugged the thought off my mind, thinking I had gone completely insane. Ironically it is exactly what Peter thought too. I noticed his impeccable manners and very kind eyes and I knew that he was my husband.”
In the petition filed today, Celina Jaitly called Peter Haag a narcissist with alcoholic tendencies alleging that her husband prohibited her from working after marriage. Jaitly has sought Rs 50 crores for loss of earnings due to Peter Haag. She has also sought Rs 10 lakh as monthly maintenance and custody to their children who live in Austria with their father.
The plea even stated that Peter Haag had filed a divorce application before a court in Austria in August.
