Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always been in the news for his tremendous acting and movie choices but from last few days, the actor has been in the news for his disturbed personal life. On May 6th Nawazuddin's wife Alia sent him a divorce notice and accused Nawazuddin Siddiqui's family of her physical and mental torture. Nawazuddin did not say anything on this matter earlier but now he has sent a legal notice to Alia in return of her divorce notice.

According to The Indian Express report, about the divorce proceedings Siddiqui's lawyer Adnan Shaikh said, `Aalia had sent the divorce notice on May 6, we had responded to that notice. Now, we have made our reply with whatever facts we had to give from records. Now it is her turn to take a step. We are taking steps whenever we are hurt legally. We were hurt legally because she was defaming my client. Now, if she doesn't comply in the number of days that she has to, then we will take a step again and we will definitely report.`

Adnan Shaikh further said, `All EMIs are still being paid by my client. We have attached payment details and screenshots. A huge sum was sent to Aaliya before the lockdown to make sure that all the children-related expenses are taken care of. Her divorce notice was replied to well in time, but again, she had stated the contrary in order to defame Mr Siddiqui through this well-thought slander campaign. Hence, we have asked the actor's wife to not make defamatory comments against him and also issue a written clarification for whatever she has recently said.`

Whereas in a conversation with Bollywood Life, Aalia said, `Problems (in the marriage) had begun long before, but I wasn't bringing them forward. I was trying to solve these issues, waiting for them to get better. I finally had to take this decision. Nawaz had never raised his hands on me, but the shouting and arguments had become unbearable. But his family has mentally and physically tortured me a lot. His brother had even hit me.`

`I've been bearing a lot for too many years. His first wife had also left him for this reason. It's a pattern. There are already seven cases registered by the wives of their house against them, and four divorces have taken place. This is the fifth one. It's a pattern in his family. You conceal a lot to avoid embarrassment before others, but how much can you take in love,` she added.

Presently, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is at his home in Budhana, Muzaffarnagar district with his family. A few days ago Nawazuddin shared his video in which he was working on the farm. On the work front, we last saw Nawazuddin in Pushpendra Nath Misra's 'Ghoomketu', which was released directly on ZEE5.
