Celina Jaitly: 'Our Soldiers Are Not Just An Icy Number' As She Seeks PM Modi's Help For Brother

Actor Celina Jaitly joins India Today for an exclusive conversation regarding the detention of her brother, Major Vikrant Jaitly, a retired Special Forces officer held in the UAE since September 2024. Jaitly reveals the personal toll of the 16-month ordeal, stating, "I have even lost my marriage in the entire process." She details the lack of transparency regarding his detention under the pretext of "national security" and her subsequent legal battle in the Delhi High Court. The court recently directed the Ministry of External Affairs to appoint a legal firm to represent him. Jaitly, a fourth-generation military daughter, emphasizes that "our soldiers are not just an icy number" and makes a heartfelt plea to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for intervention. She draws parallels to the Qatar naval officers' case, urging the Indian government to stand behind its veterans. Despite personal and financial hardships, Jaitly remains committed to securing her brother's dignified return to India. #CelinaJaitly #MajorVikrantJaitly #IndianArmy #itwebvideos #IndiaToday #JusticeForSoldiers #UAE #MEA #NarendraModi #SpecialForces #HumanRights #DelhiHighCourt #IndianVeterans #BringHimBack #MilitaryFamily #ExclusiveInterview Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
