Bollywood Desk, Delhi Magazine: Bollywood actress and former Miss India Celina Jaitly has shared a poignant social media update regarding her brother, Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly (Retired), an Indian Army veteran who remains detained in the UAE. The deeply emotional post follows a recent directive from the Delhi High Court ordering the Indian government to provide effective legal and consular assistance in the case.
The Sister’s Unwavering Plea
In a heartfelt message, Celina Jaitly articulated the continuous pain and sleepless nights she has endured since her brother’s detention. Addressing him lovingly as “My Dumpy,” the actress wrote: “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.”
This personal appeal highlights her unwavering support and her continued commitment to securing his safe return. She confirmed her relentless efforts, stating she has “left no stone unturned” in the fight for her fourth-generation soldier brother.
#BringBackOurSoldier: The High Court’s Directive
Celina Jaitly’s post, which included the trending hashtags #BringBackOurSoldier and #BringBackMajorVikrant, arrives shortly after the Delhi High Court’s latest hearing on the matter.
The court, following a petition filed by the actress, has directed the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to:
-
Appoint a nodal officer for the case.
-
Facilitate direct communication between Celina Jaitly and her brother.
-
Ensure effective legal representation for the detained Major.
This judicial intervention has been described by the actress as a “ray of hope” after over a year of anguish and uncertainty regarding Major Jaitly’s legal and medical status.
The National Response and Public Solidarity
The emotional message and the latest legal developments have drawn widespread attention. Fans, prominent figures, and supporters of the Indian Armed Forces are responding with messages of solidarity, praying for strength and a positive conclusion to the ordeal of the retired Major Vikrant Jaitly and his family. The case underscores the need for effective consular support for Indian nationals and veterans abroad.
The matter is scheduled for its next hearing in the Delhi High Court on December 4.
