Nawazuddin Siddiqui is likely to settle dispute with wife Aaliya; to withdraw defamation suit

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is willing to settle disputes with his estranged wife Aaliya and get divorced. It is revealed that as part of the settlement, he will withdraw the defamation suit he filed against her.

Rizwan Siddiquee, Aaliya's lawyer, received the settlement draft from the actor's legal team on March 25. Speaking with Hindustan Times, he said, ‘We want to keep the terms on settlement private. The settlement is regarding a lot of other things, not just the custody of the Children. The custody was always with my client and will remain to be with her as she is the biological mother of the children. Also, the children have been with my client since giving birth. There should be no dispute regarding child custody, especially given the busy schedule Mr. Nawaz has.’

He added, ‘Through his lawyers, Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has already sent me a draft proposal of terms for settlement. The said draft was sent to me on the 25th of March 2023. It is a positive step that they are trying to settle the matter amicably. We shall be closing the matter soon if all issues are closed in the interest of all parties concerned, especially the minor children. It is always a moment to appreciate when the parties involved don’t want to fight and settle, especially in matrimonial matters.’

Earlier this week, Nawazuddin had filed a defamation case against Aaliya and his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui. The actor demanded ₹100 crores and an apology letter.
Nawazuddin and Aaliya have had ugly public fights for a long time now, with Aaliya claiming that Nawazuddin ‘disowned’ their children. Later, the actor also reacted to the claims saying that his wife only wants money, which was denied by Aaliya.
