Divorce proceedings
Speaking to Republic TV, lawyers of Aaliya, Abhay Sahai and Mohit Mudgal spoke about the legal notice seeking divorce that has been sent to Siddiqui:
"Due to unprecedented COVID-19 times, the notice could not be sent through speed post. It has been sent through email as well as WhatsApp. Mrs Siddiqui, our client, has also sent the notice through WhatsApp. However, Mr Siddiqui has not responded till date."
They added, "I think he is just keeping quiet regarding the notice and ignoring it. The notice has been sent claiming maintenance and divorce. I would not like to get into the details of the notice regarding what are the contents and what are the allegations, but let me tell you that the allegations are quite serious and those are very sensitive to Mr Siddiqui as well as his family members."
On another note, Nawazuddin seems to be going through a tough time in his personal life.
