Actress Celina Jaitly and husband Peter Haag have twin boys named Winston & Viraaj. In 2017, the couple welcomed another set of twins and named them Arthur & Shamsher. However, Shamsher developed a serious heart condition and passed away.
On the occasion of World Prematurity Day (November 17), she wrote a candid post about her experience with premature babies and personal loss. She said,
“While nothing can prepare parents for how it feels to have a baby in neonatal care, it can be a huge support to know other families have been where they are now. To the parents currently in the NICU, Peter Haag and I can assure you that things do get better and that the future is so exciting. Remember lots of Kangaroo care, breast milk, putting your faith in your doctors and love can work miracles.”

“We went through immense heartache with one baby in NICU and funeral arrangements for his twin whom we lost to a congenital heart problem, but we survived on hope and amazing care of NICU nurses and NICU Doctors in Dubai who worked tirelessly with us to make sure Arthur Jaitly Haag comes back home with us.”

She added,
“While many preterm babies still carry a huge vulnerability to develop medical challenges or life-threatening circumstances, many do grow up to become completely healthy individuals, with some even becoming notable public figures such as Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein and of course our own Arthur Jaitly Haag. Keep your love and blessings coming for Artu and don’t forget to read up on how you can prevent/support premature babies.”
More power to all the parents out there who are going through a similar situation.
