Celina Jaitly Appeals For Solider Brother’s Return

On Sunday, Celina took to her Instagram handle and shared a picture with her brother along with a long note that read, "From the Battlefield to a Cell, The Unspoken Pain of an Indian Soldier, 444 Days Without My Brother! It’s been 1 year, 2 months, 17 days, 443 days in total, 10,632 hours, 637,920 minutes…since my brother, Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly,(Retd) was taken. Since he was 1st abducted, held incommunicado for eight long months, then kept in detention somewhere in the Middle East, my life has been a countdown of fear, hope & unbearable silence."

Recalling her final call with her brother, she stated, "I am waiting to hear his voice, I am waiting to see his face, I dread what they have done to him. I dread it because only I know who he was when he was whole, & I dread it because I know what he managed to communicate in that one final call…A call made to the only number he could still remember. A call carrying more pain than words. A call carrying more truth than the world is ready to face."

Celina stated that the matter is no longer a personal issue and has become an issue of national security. She added, “I have more questions than answers, so much terror in every second that passes. He suffers from many injuries from his line of duty. He has given his youth, his strength, his mind, his life to Bharat. He has lived & bled for the flag. As #bharat rises as a global force, our soldiers & #veterans are becoming easy targets abroad. This is not just personal anymore, this pattern of picking up our soldiers & veterans abroad… is this now jeopardising our own National Security instead? We must ask this question. We must demand answers. We must not turn away. We need the same, decisive action that was taken in Qatar, I am putting my faith, my life & my hope in our government ..That they will safely bring their soldier back. The same action that brought home our Naval veterans. Our soldier deserves no less. No #indian soldier deserves less. Bring our soldier back."

Citing her late father, Col. VK Jaitly (SM), the actress concluded her note, “If you want to honour a soldier, be an Indian worth dying for.”BHAI I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING FINDING YOU. I will NOT stop; I will NOT give up till he is back to the soil of his Bharat, the country he gave up all for!! Kalika Mata Ki Jai."

Her post comes days after the Delhi High Court directed the External Affairs Ministry to provide legal assistance to Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, following the actress' plea for legal and medical assistance to her brother. Celina later lauded the Delhi High Court’s decision, calling it a “ray of hope".
