Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's estranged wife Aaliya, who had sent a divorce petition to the actor last year, has decided to give their marriage a second chance. Aaliya had also accused Nawazuddin's brother of violence in May last year.
Speaking to the Times of India, Aaliya revealed that she has withdrawn the divorce notice. She said that she had a change of heart after Nawazuddin took care of her and their children while she was down with COVID-19 recently. "I was down with COVID, and Nawaz not only took care of the children, but also me. This was despite what I said about him. He kept our differences aside and looked after me. Whenever I have been under stress, he has always helped me. This pandemic was an eye-opener. I realised what matters the most is the well-being of your children and good health. Our children need us, and if their happiness lies in us being together, we can keep our disagreements aside. I have withdrawn the legal notice that I had filed. I don't seek divorce anymore, and I want to give this marriage a chance,” she told TOI.
Aaliya made headlines last year when she sent the actor a divorce notice and alleged that they have been facing problems for 10 years.
Nawazuddin and Aaliya, who got married in 2009, have two children.
