New Delhi: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has reportedly made efforts to reach a settlement with his estranged wife, Aaliya, and has reportedly submitted a "settlement draft" to Aaliya's attorney, Rizwan Siddiquee. This comes just one day after the actor sued his ex-wife and brother in a defamation case for a total of Rs 100 crore.
On Saturday night, Aaliyah's attorney Rizwan Siddiquee received a settlement proposal from the actor's attorney, which said, "These consent terms are open for discussion. We expect to receive your proposed terms before the hearing, which is on 27th March 2023."
India Today states that Rizwan had concerns about the timeliness of the settlement draft. In addition, he added that the actor and his estranged wife's defamation claim will be dropped as part of any settlement between the two parties.
Rizwan Siddiquee said, "Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, through his advocates, has sent me a draft of the terms of settlement. The same was sent last evening. I am now in the process of discussing the same with my client. I assure that from my side, I am trying to fully ensure that all disputes between the parties end once and for all; and that both parties as parents concentrate on the well-being of their minor children and work towards securing their future.”
According to the report, Aaliya and Nawazuddin informed another bench of the Bombay High Court that they are willing to set their differences aside for the sake of their children.
Coming back to Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Aaliya, the couple got married in 2009. They have been in the limelight for the past few months hurling allegations at each other on various domestic and personal issues and their children, daughter Shora and son Yaani.
In January 2022, Nawazuddin's mother filed a police complaint against Aaliya for allegedly trespassing into the actor's home and she lodged a counter-complaint against her mother-in-law alleging domestic violence.
