Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is ready to end his marriage to Aaliya and get a divorce. It is being revealed that, as part of the settlement, he will be withdrawing the defamation suit that he filed against her. Reports also say that the settlement process is for other problems in the marriage, and that an ugly fight over who gets the kids is not expected at this time. They have two kids together.

Nawazuddin and Aaliya have had ugly public fights for a long time now, with Aaliya claiming that Nawazuddin ‘disowned’ their children and alleging that his mother Mehrunisa harassed her by not giving her access to the actor’s Mumbai home. The actor reacted to the claims, saying that his estranged wife only wants money, which was denied by Aaliya.

Talking about the new developments, Aaliya’s lawyer, advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, tells us, “Through his lawyers, Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui has already sent me a draft proposal of terms for settlement. The said draft was sent to me on March 25, 2023. It is a positive step that they are trying to settle the matter amicably. We shall be closing the matter soon if all issues are closed in the interest of all parties concerned, especially the minor children.”

Earlier this week, Nawazuddin also filed a defamation case against brothers Shamasuddin Siddiqui and Aaliya. The actor has demanded Rs. 100 crore and an apology letter. Giving an update on the same, Siddiquee shares, “When it comes to the defamation case, I can only say that we have not been served any copy of the same as yet, and in any event, even before the date of the said suit, Mr Nawazuddin himself has communicated the consent terms for settlement. I am therefore just ignoring the said suit at the moment and concentrating on a settlement between the parties.”
