Recently, Celina Jaitly penned a long note to reveal her and her husband, Peter Haag's ordeal about losing one of their twin sons in 2017 and also mentioned the reason behind it.
Celina Jaitly is one of the most beautiful actresses of her time. She appeared in many iconic films, including Shakalaka Boom Boom, No Entry, Apna Sapna Money Money and others. However, later Celina took a long sabbatical from her acting career. Coming to her personal life, she is married to an Austrian hotelier, Peter Haag. The madly-in-love duo welcomed their first set of twins, Winston and Viraaj, in 2017. But unfortunately, they lost one of their sons, Shamsher in 2017, after giving birth to him with the second set of twins along with Arthur. Now, Celina bared her heart out about her and Peter's ordeal about losing one of their sons.
Taking to her IG handle on July 20, 2023, Celina Jaitly shared unseen pictures with her husband and one of their twin baby boys, Shamsher, whom they lost in 2017. Along with it, she penned a long note mentioning the loving parents' ordeal when they lost their prematurely born child. In her note, Celina mentioned that it took her 5 years to come out of the pain. However, it was their premature son, who gave a sense of faith and power to the couple to fight with the pain. Celina wrote:
"It took me 5 years to come to terms with this episode of our lives but I have finally summoned the courage to talk about my ordeal to help many parents who reach out to @haag.peter and I as they deal with the trauma of preterm birth and loss of a baby. Peter n I want such parents to know that they can get through this. In personal experience we both can vouch that your Preemie baby is a true survivor. #preemies show us the power of faith & prayer and the fight of the human spirit. Remember that most #prematurebabies survive and live completely normal, healthy lives. PS: Preterm is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of #pregnancy are completed."

In one of the pictures, the couple's pain is visible in their eyes when they hugged their little boy. However, they still tried hard to smile for one last time along with their baby boy while posing with their kid. Along with it, in the caption, she revealed going into labour at 32 weeks due to the sudden passing of her father. She also mentioned that Shamsher had a heart ailment, and due to the same, she lost her baby boy. However, her other son, Arthur survived and is now hearty. She further added:
"The outcome of our 2nd spontaneous #twinpregnancy was bittersweet due to Baby Shamsher’s loss due to a heart condition. (I went into labour at 32 weeks due to my fathers sudden passing.) It was very difficult for Peter n I but we smiled after many million tears in this photograph (1) to seal a happy memory for our blessing baby @arthurjhaag arrival as he went straight to NICU in an incubator for 3 months immediately upon his arrival. The NICU was a strange & difficult environment. From our experience, accepting that there will be good days and bad days will help you to feel less shocked & worried when challenging days happen."
At the end of her note, Celina opened up about her baby boy, Shamsher's struggle in the NICU. She mentioned that the NICU has a strange environment and mentioned how she and Peter worked as a team to get connected to their son. Celina also penned the importance of speaking and singing gently with the premature kid when they are in the NICU and revealed that it helps in forming a bond with them. She concluded:
"While not an option for everyone, Peter & I moved into the same hospital in Dubai for the few months of #nicu as loss of Shamsher left us immensely anxious about Arthur and feelings of frustration, intense sadness, nervousness, disappointment, guilt, anger, love overwhelmed us too. So please know that you are not alone in how you are feeling. Know that extreme & sometimes contradictory emotions are experienced by nearly every parent of a preemie at one time or another. It is very important at such a time to remember you can be more effective as a team than individually so watch your teamwork as parents. Speaking, singing gently to your premature baby in the NICU is a great way to bond and feel close, even when you can’t hold him. Remember Impossible odds set the stage for incredible miracles. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

Coming to her professional life, Celina had bagged the crown of Femina Miss India in 2001. In addition, the actress also participated in Miss Universe in 2001 and ended up as the fourth runner-up. On July 17, 2023, Celina Jaitly marked 22 years of becoming the fourth runner-up in the Miss Universe. And on this very special day, Celina took to her IG handle and dropped glimpses from her Miss Universe pageant. In the old glimpses, we could see the actress flaunting her curves in sultry bikinis, walking on the ramp with fiery confidence in her eyes, pairing her looks with a bindi and many more. Along with it, she penned a long note to talk about the early days of her career. The actress shared that she entered the fashion industry at the age of 15. Thus, it was not so easy for her in a 'not so open-minded Kolkata', according to her.
She went on to write how the pressure of studies and preparation for competitive exams made her entire teenage a journey of hard work and toil, and she was then hospitalised almost every month for dysmenorrhea and blood loss during her menstruation. In addition, there were times when the actress was not even paid money and faced the issues of unauthorised use of images due to a lack of industry regulations. Celina added there was constant criticism and rejection that she faced, and she had to hear some derogatory words, including people's comments on her complexion, height, weight, and more.
