Celina Jaitly pens heartbreaking note for brother detained in UAE: ‘I haven’t slept a single night without crying’
Celina Jaitly pens heartwrenching note for her brother Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who was detained in UAE last year
The last few months have been very difficult for Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly and her family. Every day has been a fight to bring her brother Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly back home from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he has been detained since September 6 last year. On November 3 this year, the case was heard in the Delhi High Court. The court directed the Union of India to ensure that Celina’s brother receives effective legal representation. A notice was also issued to the Ministry of External Affairs asking officials to appoint a nodal officer to coordinate communication between Celina’s family and authorities in the UAE. As the fight continues, Celina penned a heartbreaking note for her brother last night.
Along with a picture of Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly in his uniform, Celina Jaitly shared, “#mybrotherandme : My Dumpy, I hope you’re ok, I hope you know I’m standing with you like a rock, I hope you know I haven’t slept a single night without crying for you, I hope you know I’d give up everything for you, I hope you know no one can ever come between us, I hope you know I left no stone unturned, I hope God will finally be kind to you & me my bhai 💔 waiting for you …….”
Celina went on to add: “To every soul praying for your soldier Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly thank you from the deepest part of my heart.. your prayers your words your strength & your love have become the armour that keeps us going every single day. I am truly sorry that I cannot respond to everyone individually but please know that every message every post every whisper of prayer is felt deeply & carries power beyond words. Faith never wavers when truth stands tall may the divine mother bless every heart that stood by this soldier who gave it all for his nation ⚔️ Kalika Mata Ki Jai Parakramo Vijayate 🇮🇳.”
After serving in the Indian Army for almost 15 long years, Celina’s brother Vikrant retired in 2016. He was running a cybersecurity firm in Dubai with his wife Charul. According to his lawyer, Vikrant was ‘abducted’ by two men in the parking lot of a mall in Abu Dhabi and later detained on September 6.
