Quarrel with ex-husband Nawazuddin Siddiqui
According to reports, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Alia’s marital problems began in 2017, when news of Nawaz’s extramarital affair began circulating in the media. Alia then claimed that she was harassed at Nawaz’s house. In January 2023, Alia’s lawyer claimed that his client was tortured by Nawaz and his family. In a detailed statement, Aaliya’s supporter Rizwan Siddiquee mentioned that the actor and his family had deprived Aaliya of basic necessities such as food, bed and toilet and restricted her movement. On February 11, 2023, Aaliya Siddiqui posted a harrowing video on Instagram about her fight with Nawaz. In the video, Nawaz appears at the door of his home in Andheri. He said that he was staying in a nearby hotel and came to take their daughter Shula with him to go through visa-related procedures. In the video, Aaliya said:
I don’t trust you at all. You deny accepting our children. “
After various allegations were leveled against Nawazuddin, Alia revealed that she filed a rape complaint against Nawazuddin with the Versova police station on February 24, 2023. She also accused him of remaining silent when his mother called her child “illegitimate.” In a three-minute long clip, Alia said:
He claimed he wanted custody of the children. He has never experienced the joy of raising children, he doesn’t even know how to change a diaper or when our children will grow up and now he is taking them away from me and molding himself into a good father. He was a cowardly father who abused his power to take children away from their mothers. But he did not realize that the Almighty has the ultimate power. “
Later, Alia claimed that Nawazuddin prevented her and the children from staying at home. Guards were posted to prevent them from entering. Aaliya shared these claims in a video posted on her Instagram. According to Nawaz’s lawyer, the property is registered in the name of his mother, Mehrunisa Siddiqui. This means that the house belongs to Mehrunisa and not to Nawazuddin. Her caretakers, not Nawazuddin, made the decision to deny Arya entry into the house. Nawaz’s lawyer clarified that Nawazdin had no authority to make decisions about the use of the property. The statement further explained that only the children were allowed to enter the property and Alia was not allowed as the property belonged to Nawazuddin’s mother. Later, during a court hearing, Nadeem Zafar Zaidi, Nawazuddin’s lawyer, claimed that Alia was married to someone else when she married Nawazuddin and that she This information was withheld from him. Zaidi also claimed that Alia, her sister and her first husband conspired against Nawazuddin as he had become a popular star. At a press conference in Delhi, Zaidi said Alia had different names and marriages in the past, namely Anjali Kumari, Anjana Pandey, Anjana Anand and Zaidi Naboo. He mentioned that Aaliya was married to Nawazuddin and then divorced by mutual consent in 2011. However, when Nawazuddin’s career started taking off, Alia reappeared in his life. According to Nawazuddin’s lawyer, Aaliya, whose real name is Anjali Kumari, has a complicated marriage history. In 2001, she married Vinay Bhargav and later changed her name to Anjana Pandey after moving to Mumbai. In 2010, she changed her name to Anjana Anand and later to Zainab. During this period, she married Nawazuddin, but they divorced in 2011. However, when Nawazuddin’s career started to flourish, she re-entered his life as Alia. His lawyer also said that she was in another love marriage with a man named Rahul. In 2020, Aaliya served him with a divorce notice, which seemed illogical since they were already separated. Nawazuddin’s lawyer also claimed that Anjana had another love marriage with a man named Rahul between 2008 and 2009. He said Anjana’s ambition prompted her to form a group that included her sister Archana Pandey. In 2023, Nawazuddin filed a defamation suit against Alia and his brother Shamasuddin after allegations were made by both parties. Nawazuddin claimed to have been defamed and harassed over misleading statements and sought compensation of Rs 100 crore. He also sought a permanent injunction to prevent Aliyah and Shamasuddin from defaming him on social media. Nawazuddin demanded a written public apology and withdrawal of defamation charges against him. Nawazuddin alleged that Shamasuddin incited Alia to file a false case against him. He further alleged that Shamasuddin and his wife had embezzled Rs 20 crore and were in possession of audio and video records of his meetings. According to Nawazuddin, Shamasuddin’s services as manager were terminated in 2020 and he also received a legal notice from government authorities for an unpaid amount of Rs 370 million. The actor said that when he demanded the return of his property, his estranged wife and brother began blackmailing him with cheap videos and social media comments. Nawazuddin also accused Alia of misusing the funds he provided for her children’s education and the funds he gave her to start a production studio. Nawazuddin claimed that the defamatory videos and posts posted by Alia and Shamasuddin led to the delay of his film. He said he felt uncomfortable attending social gatherings and going out in public because of the defamatory content. Following the defamation suit, Nawazuddin expressed his desire to reach a settlement with his estranged wife and sent a draft settlement to her lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee. Aliyah’s lawyers have questioned the timing of the draft settlement and said the consent terms of any settlement would require the defamation suit to be withdrawn.
