Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s lawyer Nadeem Zafar Zaidi recently held a press meet in Delhi and talked about the ongoing dispute between his client and his wife, Aaliya. In the meet, the lawyer claimed that Aaliya is still married to her first husband, Vinay Bhargav, days after Aaliya accused the actor and his family for harassing her at home.

Siddiqui and Aaliya got married in 2011. The two share two kids--Shora and Yaani. Reportedly, Siddiqui has moved out of his Mumbai house and staying in a hotel amid the dispute. His mother filed a complaint against Aaliya over property dispute.

India Today quoted the actor’s lawyer saying, “In 2001, Aaliya, an 8th class fail, married Vinay Bhargav. Then she came to Mumbai and became Anjana Pandey, then Anjana Anand in 2010. Then, she became Zainab and converted to Islam. After that, she married Siddiqui and divorced him in 2011 with mutual consent. But when Siddiqui’s career skyrocketed, she again came into his life as Aaliya. In 2020, she sent him a divorce notice which makes no sense as the two had already separated.”

The lawyer also alleged that Aaliya faked her date of birth, as it differs in her marksheet and passport.

Last month, Aaliya’s lawyer said that Siddiqui and his family members ‘ensured no food, bathroom is given to my client.’

“Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members did everything possible to remove my client Mrs Aaliya Siddiqui from the house... Thereafter, through the police they threatened to arrest her and were calling her each day to the police station, after sunset,” he also said.
