Nawazuddin, family provided no food, bed to Aaliya: Wife's lawyer alleges

Nawazuddin and his wife, Aaliya, née Anjali Kishore Panday, have had a turbulent relationship for over 10 years

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his wife, Aaliya, née Anjali Kishore Panday, have had a turbulent relationship for over 10 years. The couple made headlines in 2020 after Aaliya filed for divorce. However, she later called the separation off in 2021 after she had a change of heart. 

Now, two years later, her lawyer has levelled some serious allegations against the Bollywood star and his family. Rizwan Siddiquee, Aaliya's legal representative, has accused Nawazuddin and his family of providing no food or bathroom to the former. 

According to Hindustan Times, Rizwan said, "Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members did everything possible to remove my client Mrs Aaliya Siddiqui from the house." Aaliya, who reportedly went to settle in Dubai with her two kids, had been living in the Sacred Games actor's Andheri house in Mumbai. "They filed an untenable criminal complaint of trespass against her. Thereafter, through the police, they threatened to arrest her and were calling her each day to the police station, after sunset," Aaliya's lawyer said. 

"Whilst, I do not want to directly attribute the actions and the failures of the police department to them, yet the fact remains that no police officer ever came to protect my client's rights, even when her modesty was insulted before the police officers. Not only her relationship with Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui was questioned before the police officer, but even the legitimacy of the minor son was questioned. Yet the police officer did not act on the written complaint given by my client under Section 509 of IPC," the advocate added.

"Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members have in the last seven days ensured that no food, no bed, and no bathroom to take bath is given to my client. They have even posted innumerable male bodyguards all around my client and further installed CCTV cameras in the hall, where my client is currently staying with her minor children," Rizwan continued.

"To add to all of this, they even ensured that I do not obtain any signatures of my client to file appropriate court cases against Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members. Despite being stopped and threatened at multiple levels and no police officer coming to the aid of my client, I and my team managed to obtain the signatures of my client for the court cases. Accordingly, multiple cases are being filed in the courts now," the advocate concluded. 

Police complaint filed against Aaliya

However, last week, Nawazuddin's mother had filed a complaint against Aaliya over a property dispute. According to a tweet from ANI, "Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's mother Mehrunisa Siddiqui filed an FIR against the actor's wife Aaliya. Versova police has called her for questioning. It is alleged that Aaliya had an argument with Nawazuddin's mother."

Nawazuddin and Aaliya's on and off relationship

Last year, Aaliya shared that she had a change of heart after she saw Nawazuddin's caring side. In an interview with ABP News, she said that he had been taking care of the family when she was down with Covid-19. Seeing that side of his nature, she was willing to start afresh.

“Despite being extremely busy, Nawaz is taking good care of both our children including their education and other needs. Not only this, he often calls me and enquires about my health and needs. I am very impressed with this side of Nawaz and it touched my heart. Earlier, he was never able to pay attention to his children. But now, I am really surprised to see him like this.”

She further said that they were working towards sorting out their differences. “Both me and Nawaz will try together to remove all the problems between us. Going forward, we will sort out all the problems and misconceptions. We have been talking about this.”
