On June 8, actress and former Miss India Celina Jaitley took to social media to pay a deeply emotional tribute to her late parents, her mother, Meeta Jaitly (D.Psych.), and father, Colonel V.K. Jaitly (SM), on her mother’s death anniversary. Sharing two poignant photographs, one featuring her parents together, and another capturing a tender moment between Celina and her mother, the actress reflected on the depth of her grief and the enduring emptiness their absence has left in her life.
Celina Jaitley pens tribute to her late mother and father on death anniversary: “I look for signs of you every day”
“There is a city in my heart where you are the only population,” Celina wrote, encapsulating the pain of losing both her parents. Her caption painted a vivid picture of a daughter still deeply connected to her roots, still searching for signs and memories in the smallest details of everyday life.
Remembering Her Mother, an Army Wife and Scholar
She remembered her mother as “an army wife and a scholar above all,” and her father as “a proud soldier.” Her words beautifully honoured their legacies — a blend of intellect, service, and unwavering love. “No matter how much time passes, the pain of your absence never fades, and nothing can ever fill the space you held in my heart,” she wrote.
The post also offered intimate glimpses into their family life — late-night laughs, gentle scoldings, and mother-daughter shopping sprees where, she quipped, her father would ultimately foot the bill. “I yearn your scoldings, the little mother-daughter squabbles which ended in poor Pappy paying for a massive shopping trip always,” she added, lacing warmth and wit into her remembrance.
“I Look for Signs of You Every Day”: Celina Jaitley
Celina, now a mother herself, shared the aching question that lingers for many who’ve lost loved ones: “Will I ever hear your voice praising my achievements or feel your presence as I mother my own children?” She spoke of looking for signs of their presence in nature and patterns, even in whispers of the wind, as she navigates life without their physical guidance.
Concluding her heartfelt note, she said, “Wherever you are, Maa and Pa, I hope you can see me. I am doing everything I can, in every way I can, just like you taught me.” The post was signed off with a loving tribute: “Meeta Jaitly (D.Psych.) & Colonel V.K. Jaitly (SM) missed dearly.”
