Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his wife Aaliya have now decided to resolve matters weeks after being in the headlines for their ugly public spat. Speaking with ETimes, Aaliya confirmed that the actor has reached out for a settlement, but they will be fighting for the custody of their children.
Aaliya told ETimes, ‘Divorce will happen, that’s for sure and I will also be fighting for the custody of both my kids. Nawaz has also filed for custody but I will not let that happen. Both my kids want to stay with me and don’t want to live with him.’
She also shared that she is currently staying in a rented apartment, but she has been asked to vacate soon. ‘I had to vacate by March 30, but I requested for a one month extension as I am unable to find another accommodation. Societies are refusing to give me property on rent because of this dispute,’ she said.
A few days back, Nawazuddin filed a defamation case against his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui and Aaliya, demanding ₹100 crore and an apology letter.
In March, Aaliya had claimed she was thrown out of Nawazuddin’s Mumbai house late at night, along with their kids Shora and Yaani. She has also alleged that the actor is an irresponsible father, claiming that he had sent away their minor daughter alone with his ‘male manager’ who hugged her ‘multiple times in an inappropriate manner’.
The actor’s mother has also filed a complaint against Aaliya over a property dispute.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has several films in the pipeline including Kangana Raanaut's ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’, ‘Bole Chudiyan’ and ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’.
