Actress Celina Jaitly pens an emotional Raksha Bandhan/Rakhi message for her brother, Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who has been detained in the United Arab Emirates since 2024. In the note, she says she has not heard his voice, seen him, or met him since that time, and she recalls memories from their childhood and the bond they shared.
Jaitly describes the period since he was detained as emotionally difficult, referring to grief and distress, and says she has tried everything she could as a sister. Multiple outlets report she writes that she will not give up on him, calling him her “only family” besides her sons and admiring his courage and service. The note also references the death of their parents and includes a message asking for strength and blessing.
Across reports, there is shared emphasis on her separation since late 2024 and her insistence on staying supportive. Free Press Journal adds detail that, in March, Vikrant reportedly refused Celina’s offer of legal help and requested that any legal steps be discussed with his wife, while NDTV and Times of India focus more on the Rakhi text and her account of missing him.
