Celina Jaitly, known for her roles in Hello Darling and Golmaal Returns, opened up about one of the most difficult periods of her life: the heartbreaking loss of her child. She was already grieving the death of her father when, just a month later, she learned that one of her unborn twins, Shamsher, had a congenital heart condition known as a hypoplastic heart.

With a heavy heart but unwavering determination, Celina moved forward in search of treatment. Sadly, fate had something else in store. Taking to her Instagram, Celina Jaitly, with remarkable strength, penned down her emotional and deeply personal reflections.

"Happiest days clouded by the heaviest grief." — Celina Jaitly

Celina posted a throwback picture from her adorable baby bump days and wrote, “#6yearsago #twinpregnancy | This photo was taken by my husband in our garden in Austria six years ago, during my second spontaneous twin pregnancy. Behind this smile was a heart in pieces… my father had passed away just three weeks before, and we had just learned that one of the twins had a hypoplastic heart. We were on a brief pause at home in Austria, bracing ourselves before heading to London to find a cure.”

The diva went on to share how one of the most uplifting moments of her life—her twin pregnancy—turned into her darkest. Shortly after baby Shamsher passed away, Celina also lost her mother.
“The happiest time of my life was overshadowed by profound grief, not knowing that we would soon lose baby Shamsher… and shortly after, my mother too.”

Yet, Celina chooses to keep sunshine by her side. She wrote:
“Still, I remain grateful that God didn’t leave our arms empty. He blessed us with baby Arthur— the ray of hope who pulled us through the darkness.”

Terming pregnancy as one of the most challenging times in a woman's life, she went on to write, "Pregnancy can be the most tender, yet the most trying chapter of a woman’s life. Not all outcomes are the same, so let’s show love and support to every woman, daughter, friend, or stranger walking this path." Finally, Celina revealed that “Letting go is like the medicine we drink despite its bitter taste; in order to heal.” Married to Austrian hotelier Peter Haag, Celina is the mother to three boys - Winston, Viraaj, and Arthur.
