Even as he was celebrating his 46^th birthday today, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is sadly finding himself all over the internet, unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. His wife Aaliya whose real name is Anjana Kishor Pandey, has sent a legal notice to the actor, asking for a divorce. She has revealed that her marriage has been in trouble for the last decade and that she has decided to use the lockdown as the right Allah-sent opportunity to annul their marriage.

Nawazuddin, who recently travelled to his hometown Budhana in Uttar Pradesh with proper approval, is currently on a mandatory two-week home quarantine.Though we are yet to receive the actor’s side of the story yet, it may be remembered that Nawazuddin Siddiqui, in his memoir, had mentioned that he was in a live-in relationship with his ladylove Anjali. Although they were reportedly head-over-heels in love with each other, they constantly fought on various issues. And at times, Anjali would storm out in fury and Nawaz would seek her forgiveness and bring her back., While he was working in the film

After parting ways from Anjali,with whom he lived in without a proper marriage,before he married Aaliya, Nawazuddin’s mother had actually arranged his wedding with a girl named Sheeba who was from Haldwani, near Nainital. The actor got married to her a few months before the shooting of his film, ‘Patang’. Reportedly, everything was going quite well and the two of them lived together for two months. It was after then that problems began to arise because of her intrusive brother who interfered in their marriage. Nawazuddin and Sheeba faced each other at court along with their families for a divorce hearing. Although he had a tinge of hope that they would patch up, Sheeba was determined to part ways. Nawaz was shocked when she accused his family of torturing her.Nawazuddin Siddiqui was also romantically involved with actress Sunita Rajwar and the two of them were previously enrolled together in the National School of Drama too. He has also revealed the same in his memoir and said how she broke off all ties with him suddenly one fine day. Rajwar later sent a legal notice to the actor for trying to tarnish her image and asked for a compensation of Rs. 2 crores.

The former Miss India and actress Niharika Singh also had accused her ex-boyfriend and Miss Lovely co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui of grabbing her and not letting go when she invited him over. She said that she gave in "after a little coercion", and they began dating.However, Niharika soon "began to discover one lie after another". Apparently, the colorful Nawazuddin was seeing several women on the side even when he was hiding a wife in Haldwani.Niharika alleged, "He tried to re-engage me sexually, begging me to be with him but I refused, saying I was happy to be his friend and nothing else." When she refused to give in to his advances, he apparently told people that she was a bad actress and ensured that she did not receive offers.
