Actor Celina Jaitly continues to hope and pray that her brother, an Indian Army official, who is detained in the UAE for a year, is doing okay. Maj. (Rtd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly has been allegedly detained in the UAE since September 2024 over national security concerns.

The actor penned an emotional note on her Instagram account after the Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to inform Retired Major Vikrant in the next consular access that his sister Celina wants to talk to him. The High Court also directed the Ministry to facilitate her communication with him through the TAMM App or by any other mode.

Celina Jaitly's brother has been detained in the UAE for several months.

Celina took to her Instagram account and wrote, “Ma & Pa.. I am doing my best ! I Haven’t Spoken to Vikrant in 15 Months. Today, Hope Was Placed on Record.. Thank you Universe !! My petition seeking access to and legal representation for my brother, Maj (Retd) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who has been abducted and detained in UAE since 6 Sep 2024, was heard by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court today.”
