actor: Celina Jaitley: opens one of the most painful chapters of his life, revealing how the actor Preity Zinta became her biggest pillar of support as she navigated marital issues, legal battles and the emotional aftermath of rebuilding her life.Speaking on India Today, Celina recalled that she returned to India at a time when she had no place to call home. He said he had to rely on some trusted friends while fighting to get his own home back.“When I came back to India, I didn’t have my own house. I stayed in a hotel for 10 days in a hotel owned by a friend who I asked to give me a discount. I stayed until I could go to court and get an injunction to enter my own house. With no parents and my brother not there, I found comfort in the 1-2 friends that were left.”The actor shared that many people gave their support during the difficult period, including a director, a producer and some of his late father’s colleagues. However, he said that Preity Zinta stood by him when he needed someone.“Above all, Preity Zinta. That woman stands like a rock. She is the only one who understands how broken I am. Thanks to her, I went to the temple of Maa Baglamukhi in Dharamsala and Ujjain. When I went to Ujjain, I realized that I returned to my Sanatana dharma and my roots are my true calling,” he added.Celina also reflects on a series of personal losses that have greatly affected her life. He talks about the loss of his parents, the tragic death of one of his twin sons, and the pain of seeing his brother in prison. Looking back on everything he went through, the actor said he always felt like he was “living a script I didn’t sign.”Holding back tears during the conversation, Celina admitted that there are nights when she wakes up overwhelmed by the weight of her experiences and wonders how much more she can endure. However, she says she somehow mustered the strength to carry on, accepting what was out of her control and facing each new day with strength.Meanwhile, Celina remains embroiled in a legal dispute with her estranged husband, Peter Haag.
