After the breakup, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's family arranged for his marriage with a girl called Sheeba who hailed from Haldwani, near Nainital. The two tied the knot a few months before the shoot for his film, Pataang. The two apparently lived happily for two months before problems started arising between them due to the interference of Sheeba's brother, as Nawazuddin mentions in his memoir. 

As the problems increased, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sheeba met each other in court with their families for a divorce. Although the actor hoped to patch up with his then-wife, she seemed determined to end things. However, going by his memoir, when she made allegations of brutal torture by Nawaz's family, the actor was left shocked.
