'I Tried Speaking to Manoj, Nawaz Insulted Me and Said Tumko Baat Karna Nahi Aata': Aaliya on Being Humiliated In Front of Manoj Bajpayee

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife Aaliya has opened a pandora box of shocking revelations following the public announcement of her decision to end their 11-year-long marriage.

In her latest interview, Siddiqui’s estranged wife not only alleged that he had difficulty in accepting her as his wife in front of the media but even mocked her when his celebrity friends were around while recalling one particular incident.

Aaliya had served Nawaz divorce papers via email and WhatsApp earlier this month, after a decade of marriage. She has also accused his family, especially brother Shamas, of emotional and physical abuse. She said that she has been disrespected in the marriage, and her image has been maligned by the family. Shamas has refused to comment on the matter.

She said that once when actor Manoj Bajpayee had come to their house, she tried to strike a conversation with him. But Nawaz humiliated her and told her, ‘Tumko baat karna nahi aata, tum logon ke samne baat mat kiya karo’. She has also alleged that neither was he a good husband nor a good father.

She continued, narrating an incident involving actor Manoj Bajpayee, “A few celebrities have visited my house like Manoj Bajpayee. At that time also I was being humiliated by Nawaz.” She added, “I was cooking for Nawaz and tried to strike a conversation and he was like ‘tumko baat karna nahi aata, tum logon ke samne baat mat kiya karo’, these were his words.”

Aaliya said that there came a point, after being regularly put down, that she didn’t have the confidence to sustain conversations any more. She said, “Even when he was going to meet the press and if I were to reach there coincidentally, then he would avoid me. I never got the respect that a wife deserves, never in front of others, never in person. From a rickshawala to a superstar – everyone respects their wife. I have been suffering this since years, one shouldn’t be insulted so much that the person starts feeling suffocated. All the time you are being made to realize that you are nothing, don’t know how to speak, to stand, no dressing sense, till what point can a person take all that? There was a point when I had lost all my confidence. I wondered if I would be able to do anything, I would fumble during conversations.”

While Nawaz is yet to respond to the legal notice sent by Aaliya, she has joined Twitter claiming that she will be revealing all the truth behind her troubled relationship with the actor.
