Nawazuddin Siddiqui's children to return to UAE to complete studies after court appearance

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s children will be heading back to United Arab Emirates (UAE) to resume their schooling which they had left mid-way due to a family dispute. This decision came after a detailed intervention by the Bombay High Court judges on Monday.

Along with their mother Zainab Siddiqui alias Aaliya and lawyer Riswan Siddiquee, the children were present in the chamber of the judges on April 3. Nawazuddin couldn’t appear in court as he was stuck due to some issues related to his international flight, his advocate Adnan Shaikh stated. However, the issue was discussed with him online by the bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Sharmila Deshmukh.

The bench is hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Nawazuddin seeking that his children be brought before the court. In his plea, he said that his kids’ school from UAE informed him that they are not attending school, and he was unaware of their whereabouts. According to the actor, Zainab is a permanent resident of the UAE.

Nawazuddin and Aaliya tied the knot in 2010 and had a khulanama (divorce) a year later. They have two children, who are also UAE citizens and live there. The actor has claimed that he sends Rs 10 lakh every month for their welfare.
