Shimla-born beauty queen and actress who rose to prominence after winning Femina Miss India 2001 and placing fourth at Miss Universe 2001. She made her Bollywood debut in Feroz Khan’s Janasheen and subsequently appeared in commercially successful comedies including No Entry, Golmaal Returns, and Apna Sapna Money Money throughout the 2000s.
Married to Swiss hotelier Peter Haag, Jaitly largely withdrew from acting after the birth of her twin sons in 2012. She has since reinvented her public presence, becoming a vocal LGBTQ+ rights advocate and collaborating with the UN’s Free & Equal campaign to challenge discrimination and promote inclusivity.
Her arc exemplifies the pageant-to-Bollywood trajectory common in early 2000s Indian cinema, a high-profile run in mainstream films followed by a deliberate pivot toward family and social causes, shedding the expected comeback narrative in favor of activist work.
