Actress
Celina Jaitly
recalled the challenging time when she lost her father, mother, and son Shamsher all within a short period.
Sharing a throwback click from her second pregnancy, Celina penned a note saying that soon after her father passed, they were told that one of her twins was suffering from a serious heart condition- hypoplastic heart.
Looking back at the testing time, Celina penned on her Instagram handle, "#6yearsago #twinpregnancy | This photo was taken by my husband in our garden in Austria six years ago, during my second spontaneous twin pregnancy. Behind this smile was a heart in pieces.. my father had passed away just three weeks before, and we had just learned that one of the twins had a hypoplastic heart. We were on a brief pause at home in Austria, bracing ourselves before heading to London to find a cure.

Shortly after bidding goodbye to their little bundle of joy Shamsher, the diva also lost her mother. "The happiest time of my life was overshadowed by profound grief, not knowing that we would soon lose baby Shamsher... and shortly after, my mother too", Celine added.
However, the actress decided to keep a positive outlook. She wrote, "Yet, I remain grateful that God didn't leave our arms empty. He blessed us with baby Arthur the ray of hope who pulled us through the darkness."
Terming pregnancy as one of the most challenging times in a woman's life, she went on to write, "Pregnancy can be the most tender, yet the most trying chapter of a woman's life. Not all outcomes are the same, so let's show love and support to every woman, daughter, friend, or stranger walking this path."
Finally, Celina revealed that "Letting go is like the medicine we drink despite its bitter taste; in order to heal."
Married to Austrian hotelier Peter Haag, Celina is the mother to three boys - Winston, Viraaj, and Arthur.

And we spoke about that in the meeting. He asked me how it was going and what my husband did, and it was just us speaking inside his cabin because he had a big office. So, when I opened the door and he leaned towards me trying to kiss, and I literally had to push him back and said, 'What are you trying to do here?' Walk off dude. My instant response was, 'What are you doing'. I just walked off.' She also shared an incident with a National Award-winning director who did not know how to speak in Hindi, so he gave a message through an intermediary person that he wanted to spend time with her. Surveen shared that she sensed something was off. 'This was the code language, and I gave them the time to really say what I thought he was saying, but finally I asked him whether he was really asking that the director wants to sleep with me? 'Sir, I am sorry you are knocking on the wrong door. I am not in for bartering myself in exchange for work'. I will never forget these lines." Surveen has worked in several films and shows, notably in Sacred Games, Decoupled, and Rana Naidu. Her new show Criminal Justice Season 4 is now streaming on JioHotstar.

'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' box office collection Day 15: Tom Cruise starrer sees a surge on Saturday; inches towards Rs 90 crore mark in India
Tom Cruise 's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning witnessed a noticeable surge in box office collections on its fifteenth day in Indian theatres, signalling renewed audience interest over the weekend. According to early estimates from industry tracker the action-packed spy thriller earned approximately Rs 3.50 crore (India net) across all languages on Saturday, a significant jump from its estimated Rs 1.75 crore haul on Friday. The film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie , had a robust opening week, collecting Rs 54.4 crore and experienced a sharp dip in the second week, bringing in an estimated Rs 26.75 crore, raising concerns about its long-term momentum. Despite the mid-run slowdown, The Final Reckoning has shown resilience, especially with Saturday's strong performance that indicates the franchise still holds drawing power with Indian audiences. The film's total India net collection now stands at approximately Rs 86.41 crore. The film has been driven primarily by its English-language screenings which alone contributed around Rs 52.1 crore to the overall tally. While the latest instalment is tracking well, it still trails behind its 2023 predecessor, Dead Reckoning Part One, which raked in Rs 98.35 crore within its first two weeks. That said, The Final Reckoning appears to be outperforming Dead Reckoning on comparable days, as Saturday's collections surpass those seen on Day 15 of the previous film's run. With strong weekend momentum, The Final Reckoning is now poised to cross the Rs 90 crore threshold in the coming days. Whether it can reach or surpass the Rs 110.3 crore total earned by Dead Reckoning Part One over a nine-week theatrical run remains to be seen. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Hayley Atwell , Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg , Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett , and Pom Klementieff , the film is the concluding chapter of the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise. While it continues to draw audiences in India, the global box office performance will be crucial in offsetting its reported $400 million production budget — one of the most expensive in the series' history. As the third weekend progresses, all eyes are on whether the Cruise-led spectacle can maintain its upward trajectory and cement its place as one of the franchise's highest-grossing titles in India.
