Celina Jaitley shares emotional video of herself cleaning late son Shamsher’s grave in Austria, opens up about her divorce process: “The only child I met was my son Shamsher”
“I had no choice but to share this devastating video to show the world my trauma as a mother,” Selena wrote in the beginning of her post. Opening up about the legal battle, she revealed that she recently went to Austria for divorce proceedings. “The last few weeks have been the hardest of my life. I was in Austria for my divorce hearing,” she wrote.
Celina alleged that despite assurances given before the Austrian judge, their children were not returned to the marital residence. “Despite giving an undertaking before an Austrian judge, my children, who were taken to an undisclosed location, were not returned to the marital residence,” she claimed. The actor said that during the trip, “the only child I met was my son Shamsher, who passed away some time ago.”
Sharing her emotional turmoil, Selena described herself as “a mother who has done everything for her children since the day they were born.” She also reflected on the personal sacrifices she made for her family and her husband’s career.
“I left my country, my parents, my job and moved from India to Dubai, Singapore, Austria, then Dubai, Austria again to support my husband’s career,” she wrote. She added, “I raised my children single-handedly by standing strong behind their ambitions, their moves, their dreams, and the life we built together.”
Celina further alleged that she faced abuse and financial losses during their marriage. “Because of my dedication to my marriage and children, I saw my properties torn to pieces and taken away… and suffered abuse,” he said.
The actor also claimed that despite joint custody and an Austrian Family Court order, he has been denied access to his children. “Despite joint custody and an existing order from the Austrian Family Court, I am currently deprived of any communication with my 3 children and am in despair!” she wrote.
She also alleged that there was “repeated interference” in her communications with the children, including “brainwashing and bullying to force them to say things against me”.
Recalling the beginning of the separation, Selena claimed that in September she was served divorce papers “under the pretext of receiving a gift ordered for our 15th wedding anniversary at the local post office.”
Concluding the post, she said, “I repeatedly sought an amicable separation in good faith, prioritizing only the welfare of the children,” but alleged that those efforts were “met with demands related to my premarital property and unreasonable terms aimed at taking away my freedom and dignity even after divorce.”
