Enough is enough, I will not sit idly by any longer. I swallowed my pride; I tried, and I tried my best. But push came to a head and I could not continue with Siddharth. Till now, I have not spoken in the media, not even two years ago when I received a call from a journalist.
She further spoke about domestic violence,
Today I want to tell you. I want to tell you that he grabbed me by the neck and tried to throw me out of the apartment. He hit me and kicked me in the stomach. There were days when I was covered in bruises and I couldn’t go out because I didn’t want people to see my injuries. Siddharth first hit me two years after we got married. Three years after we became husband and wife, when our son was born, he distanced himself from us.”
She added,
He started sleeping in another room. Later I came to know that he had a Russian girlfriend; he used to chat with her. I confronted him about her. I don’t know if they are together now as he is separated. Please note that I have chat records and CCTV footage of his violent behavior which will help me get justice.”
When reporters asked Siddhartha about the whole situation, he said:
Let her say what she wants to say. I don’t want to say anything. She was the one who asked me to hit her and said she was rehearsing for a crime show. I will respond to these allegations at the appropriate forum.”
