a 15-year-old supermodel to a 40-year-old mother of 3 kids. She said, “By 40 I have proudly achieved so much. I became a supermodel at age of 15, went on to win Miss India, Miss Universe runners up at 19, was launched by the great Feroz Khan in films, done some fabulous films, become a UN Goodwill ambassador, fought for LGBTA equality, won international awards, married an Austrian (Peter Haag), gave birth to two sets of twins and I won a best performance award just two weeks before I turn 40. It’s a great legacy to look back at and amazing motivation towards what the future holds”.
And while Celina is aware that birthdays include the process of getting a year older, she seems unconcerned about aging. Jaitly stated that achievements are more important than age. She said, “I don’t look at age, I look at achievements, I look at accomplishments. Each birthday should be measured by the growth of a wonderful legacy to look back at”. The star has revealed that she would be enjoying her big milestone birthday in Europe at their family’s alpine house. She added, “We have an amazing high altitude hike planned by just the five of — me, my husband and three sons, followed by an intimate evening with wine and cake as due to Covid we plan to keep it cozy”.
Jaitly married hotelier Peter Haag in 2011, and the couple were blessed with twin boys Winston and Viraaj in 2012. Again in 2017, Celina gave birth to twin sons, Shamsher and Arthur, and unfortunately Shamsher died shortly after delivery. According to Celina, her birthday celebrations are different after becoming a mother. She said, “After kids, birthdays hold a different meaning altogether, birthdays aren’t just about the person whose birthday it is. They’re about celebrating the entire family—honouring the birthday person and giving thanks that they are in our life and vice versa”.
