Celina Jaitly marks 16th wedding anniversary amid divorce proceedings

Actress Celina Jaitly announced on social media that she had no celebration to share for her 16th wedding anniversary, instead choosing to look back on the difficult years of her marriage while focusing on her children amid ongoing divorce proceedings.

She noted that September 18 marked the Hindu wedding anniversary and September 23 marks 16 years since the marriage was registered in Austria: “#weddinganniversary : Images of light and dark ..A reflection of how my life is going on ..18th Sept marked the 16th wedding anniversary of our Hindu marriage, & tomorrow, 23rd Sept, marks 16 years since the registration of our marriage in Austria. I have no celebration to share. Only a thousand apologies to my heart, & a prayer for my children,”

In a lengthy reflection, Celina described the years spent trying to keep the family together and said she did everything she could for her children. “There are some feelings you will never find words for. You will learn to name them after the ones who gave them to you,” she wrote.

“I am still learning how to go back & reread my own chapters without feeling like I want to set all of my pages on fire.”

“Had ours been a happy marriage, these would have been days to celebrate the life we built together. Our children would have had a happy home. Their little minds & tender hearts would not have been forced into the chaos they are enduring today.”

“At least I know I did my best. At least I know I did not give up without a fight. At least I know I stayed true to myself. At least I know I fought for my children.”

“The way I was treated was never a measure of my worth. There was no failing in me that made me deserving of that pain.”

“It took me so long to understand that someone who repeatedly leaves you speaking to God through tears & relentless heartbreak does not deserve an endless place in your life.”

“Today, my deepest prayer is for my children, who remain at the centre of it all. May their innocent hearts be protected. May they feel their mother’s love across every distance. May they have the peace, tenderness & security that every child deserves.”

“And I pray that sense & compassion prevail in the person with whom I shared so many years. That our children’s wellbeing comes before everything else. That their innocent souls are spared any more hurt.”

“They deserve a childhood they will not have to spend their adult lives healing from.”
