Celina Jaitly recently surprised fans after she was spotted enjoying an IPL match with Preity Zinta in Dharamsala. The actresses attended the Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians clash together, and photos from the stadium quickly began circulating online. While many fans were happy to see Celina smiling in public again, the appearance also drew attention because it came amid her ongoing legal battle and emotional social media posts about her children.

Soon after the match, Celina shared a heartfelt note on Instagram expressing gratitude towards Preity Zinta. Without holding back her emotions, the actress described the famous Bollywood actress as one of the brightest sources of support in her life during her most difficult phase.
Celina said that while the world admires Preity for her beauty, acting career and success in cricket, she personally values her kindness and emotional strength even more. She also called Preity the “queen” who truly owns the Punjab Kings, not just because of the IPL team, but because of the love she receives from people.
Celina added that she felt proud standing beside Preity during the match and cheering for her passion and dedication towards the team. She also mentioned spending time with actress Pratibha Ranta, members associated with music duo Sajid Khan and Wajid Khan, along with Preity’s husband Gene Goodenough.
"Preity… the only queen who “owns” the kings. The Punjab kings… a woman who has made her mark not just in cinema, not just in sports, but in the hearts of millions. I felt so proud standing by her last night, cheering for her incredible spirit, her passion, and her love for her team, the Punjab Kings. Sports is all about winning, sometimes losing… but that’s why we call it a game. And this game, we enjoyed it the bes," she wrote on Instagram.
The emotional post comes at a time when Celina has been publicly speaking about the painful separation from her children. Earlier this year, the actress had shared a deeply emotional Instagram post claiming she was unable to meet or even contact her sons despite a court order in Austria.

Sharing an old picture with her children, Celina wrote that she wanted to return to happier times with her sons. She claimed that the children had been moved to an undisclosed location and alleged that she had been blocked from reaching them through phone calls and WhatsApp messages.
The actress also accused her husband, Peter Haag, of using legal systems in Austria to stop the children from communicating with her. According to Celina, despite assurances made before the court, she continued to face difficulties in reconnecting with her sons.
Reports suggest that in November 2025, Celina filed a case against Peter Haag alleging domestic violence, cruelty and manipulation. She also reportedly sought compensation worth Rs 50 crore. The matter is currently under legal consideration.
Celina Jaitly has largely stayed away from films for more than a decade. She was last seen in a lead role in Thank You. Over the years, she has remained active on social media, often speaking about motherhood, personal struggles and social issues.
Meanwhile, Preity Zinta is preparing for her big-screen comeback with Lahore 1947. The film stars Sunny Deol in the lead role and is backed by Aamir Khan. Set during the Partition of India, the film has already generated curiosity among fans eager to see Preity return to cinema after a long break.
