Nawazuddin Siddiqui sends legal notice to estranged wife Aaliya; accuses her of ‘slandering his character’

It is known to us that Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s wife Aaliya had earlier sent a legal notice to the actor demanding a divorce and maintenance from him (The legal notice was sent on May 7). Also, she wants sole custody of their kids. As per a report in Times of India, Nawazuddin has sent a legal notice to his estranged wife through his lawyer, Adnan Shaikh. The notice demands clarification from Aaliya for “engaging in fraud, willful and planned defamation” and “slander of character”. His lawyer has said that Nawaz has responded to Aaliya’s legal notice within 15 days.

Aaliya, earlier said in her statements that Nawaz is not supporting her and the kids financially. His lawyer says, “EMI is still being paid by my client. Other children related expenses too. Divorce notice was replied to but again, she has stated the contrary in order to defame through this well-thought slander campaign.” 

Earlier in an interview with BollywoodLife, Aaliya said, “He (Nawaz) had never raised his hands on me, but the shouting and arguments had become unbearable. You could say though that only that was left. Yes, but his family has mentally and physically tortured me a lot. His brother had even hit me. His mother and brothers and sisters-in-law used to stay with us only in Mumbai. So, I’ve been bearing a lot for too many years. His first wife had also left him for this reason alone. It’s a pattern. There are already seven cases registered by the wives of their house against them, and four divorces have taken place. This is the fifth one. It’s a pattern in his family. You conceal a lot to avoid embarrassment before others, but how much can you take in love.”

Nawaz is currently at his hometown Budhana with his family.
