Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s married life hit the headlines last year when his wife Aaliya sent him a divorce notice. Aaliya in a recent interview said that though they aren’t staying together currently, they might do so in future. The couple were heading for divorce, but last week, She abruptly announced that they were on the path to reconciliation. Speaking to ETimes, Aaliya told that because of the lids they both are rethinking their decision. “It feels wrong, hence we thought of trying again. Kids must get the love of both the parents and they are also growing up. Shora is very attached to her father and it is very difficult to answer her questions. We had not told her anything, but she came to know later. She used to stay upset and it affected her studies as well,” she said.
Admitting that they weren’t living together, Aaliya said that they could in future if things improve between them. "I took the first step and said that we must do something about our issues and he also felt the same. We spoke to each other and took things ahead,” she told The Times of India.
She said that their children Shora and Yani are currently staying with Nawazuddin as he is shooting in Lucknow.
“I called Nawaz about my diagnosis of Covid-19 and he approached me positively. He immediately sent his manager to get the kids and he is taking care of them now. This is for the first time I have had such a major illness and I got to see a different side of Nawaz. He is shooting, while also managing the kids. We spoke to each other and took things ahead,” says Aaliya.
When asked if they are planning to stay together only for the sake of the kids, Aaliya revealed that they have not thought about that, but they will come together to sort out all the problems. She continued, “I am staying positive as both of us are working towards improving our relationship. He is also putting in efforts and if things work out then we will start staying together also in the future. He is taking good care of the kids and me too, so I can feel that he respects his wife. I am experiencing something that I have never seen before. Change is good and we must give it a second chance. Problems are there but love remains. I have been with him for 16 years.”
