Not his professional life, but Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s personal life has come under media scrutiny and it now refuses to stop making headlines. The news of Nawazuddin’s wife Aaliya seeking divorce has been flocking in the media for quite some time now. It is also reported that she has sent the legal notice via mail as well as WhatsApp, as speed post services are unavailable in the current situation. In fact, Aaliya has also mentioned that there are no chances of reconciliation between the two and wants the sole custody of their kids. While being married to Aaliya, Nawaz was in news his romantic relationship with former Miss India Niharika Singh.
For the unversed, she was one who once labelled Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a ‘sexually repressed man with toxic male entitlement.’ However, we came to know about another incident when Niharika claimed that while they were dating, she found out that he was married. According to a report in Times of India, in an interview back then, Niharika revealed that she was unaware of the fact that Nawaz was married and had a wife in the village.
Earlier, in her statement, Singh had said, “In the case of Nawaz and I, it is easy to see how power dynamics changed through the years and with that, also the narrative. Nawaz being an aspirational, sexually repressed Indian man whose toxic male entitlement grew with his success is hardly surprising. What is interesting to note is that despite not identifying as a Hindu, he carries deep caste prejudices since he chose to protect the honour of his 'Brahmin' wife after their names came up in the CDR scam while on the other hand, he felt very comfortable painting me as a seductress wearing faux for in his book, who he could sexually exploit, for public imagination.”
