New Delhi: Aaliya Siddiqui and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's marital affairs have been in the news for quite some time. Nawazuddin's estranged wife recently spoke about why chose public platforms to share her personal problems. In a new interview with a publication, Aaliya shared that she felt she would suffocate if she didn't talk about the issues. She also mentioned that though she shouldn't have spoken about these issues in public, she had no choice. Aaliya also added that her career was affected because of her marriage.

In an interview with News18, Aaliya said, “I had to talk about these things in public because I was suffering a lot. I felt like I would suffocate if I didn’t. The decision taken by the court finally makes me feel I’m at peace. Only I know what I went through mentally. One can imagine the kind of misery a person is in if they talk about their private matters in public. I still think that I shouldn’t have spoken about these things in public. But when you’re in deep trouble, you’ve to resort to a public forum because you’ve no one to listen to you...When you’ve no one listening to you, you’ve to fight.”

"I took to a public platform because I wanted the media to understand what I was going through. I was going through some really deep difficulties and I wasn’t being able to tell anyone about it. I’ve been going through it for the past 12 years. My career was getting affected. I wasn’t allowed to work. They didn’t allow my career to further and wanted to hold me back," she added.

Aaliya and Nawazuddin are parents to daughter Shora(13) and son Yaani Siddiqui(7). Alaya has alleged that Nawazuddin's mother harassed her and claimed that the actor 'disowned' their children. In April, a court ordered their children to return to Dubai for their studies. It also asked Aaliya and Nawazuddin to join them. 

Meanwhile, Aaliya also thanked Nawazuddin for working in 'Holy Cow', her recent production. Directed by Sai Kabir, the film also featured Sanjay Mishra.
