The Story in Brief
Actor Celina Jaitly says she was forced to explain her daily gym sessions of 1.5 hours during divorce proceedings in a Mumbai court. In an Instagram post, she called the questioning 'incomprehensible' and described weightlifting as discipline her father taught her. Jaitly filed for divorce from Austrian husband Peter Haag in November 2025, accusing him of domestic violence. Police have registered an FIR and issued a Lookout Circular against Haag. The couple had two sets of twins; one child died in 2017. Jaitly is also separated from her three children and her brother is detained in the UAE.
The Indian Opinion
The idea that a woman's daily workout could be used against her in court as 'self-obsession' reveals a troubling double standard. For millions of Indians, exercise is a lifeline, not vanity, especially for someone weathering domestic violence, child separation, and family crisis. Celina Jaitly's case should prompt a sharper question: how often do courts penalise healthy coping mechanisms while ignoring the real abuse? Watch how lower courts treat pleas under the Domestic Violence Act when the victim also lifts weights.
