In a fresh development of an ongoing dispute between Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his wife Aaliya Siddiqui, Mumbai Court has issued a notice to Nawazuddin.
Last week, Nawaz’s mother Mehrunisa Siddiqui had filed an FIR against the actor’s wife, alleging her of trespassing in their property. She had even claimed in her FIR that Aaliya is not Nawaz’s wife.
In response to these allegations, Aaliya claimed that she has not been provided food, bed, and washroom for the last week. Her lawyer
lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee told ETimes, “The first case that was filed was a counter case to their complaint. We have filed it under section 509, insult to modesty. The basis of that is very simple. Nawazuddin’s mother claims that Aaliya is not his wife, in her complaint. So, in this scenario, this statement has to come from Nawaz and not from the mother. If Nawaz claims that Alia is not his wife, then it is contrary to all the documents where he has declared Aaliya as his wife, which includes government documents, passport and interviews.”
He further added, “So if the mother is right and Nawaz is wrong, then it is a case of rape against Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Because, if you deceitfully make a lady believe that you are her husband and have any kind of sexual intercourse by making her falsely believe that you’re a husband, then it is a case of rape. Because Nawaz is keeping quiet about it, I’m not initiating any rape complaint against him right now.”
Their dispute started when Aaliya sent legal notice to actor in May 2020, claiming for maintenance, divorce. They are parents to a daughter, Shora Siddiqui, and a son, Yaani Siddiqui.
Nawazuddin was recently seen with his Gangs Of Wasseypur team on The Kapil Sharma Show. On the work front, Nawazuddin was last seen in Heropanti 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria. The actor will be next seen in Haddi. Directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, Nawazuddin will play the role of a transwoman in the film.
Besides, he will also be seen in Kangana Ranaut’s Tiku Weds Sheru, Bole Chudiyan, Noorani Chehra and Afwah.
