New Delhi: Aaliya Siddiqui, aka Zainab, aka Anjana Kishor Pandey, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife and film producer, recently announced that she and the actor will be divorcing because of a property dispute. She further asserted that Nawazuddin is currently "disowning" their second kid because the situation has taken a legal turn.
Aaliya talked openly in a recent interview about her recent encounter with the star who paid her a visit at his house in Andheri. While standing close to the bungalow gate, Nawazuddin, who is now residing in a hotel, had spoken to Aaliya. Aaliya shared a video of their heated exchange on social media. The actor claimed in the video that he had come after halting his work since he was always there for the children.
"Nawazuddin came a couple of days back, he wanted to take Shora for visa work. However, the truth is that Shora and I are citizens of Dubai and we don’t need to have any such requirements here.” She said she didn’t send her Shora with Nawazuddin after he asked for her," Aaliya told ETimes while talking about the details of the video.
“He has mentally harassed me a lot. I think I will divorce him and fight for custody of my kids. I am not hungry for money but just shocked with his claims of disowning our second child. How can he say that our second child was born when we were in a live-in relationship? I have agreements which state us as husband and wife and will submit all of this in court,” she added.
According to reports, things between the two started to go south when Aaliyah returned to Mumbai from Dubai with her kids. She allegedly got into a fight with Mehrunisa Siddiqui, Nawazuddin's mother, who then reported her to the police. Aaliya later claimed that she was denied entry to the bathroom and food while being harassed at home.
Nawazuddin and Aaliya got married in 2011. The two have two kids--daughter Shora and son Yaani.
