Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui filed defamation suit against his former wife Aaliya Siddiqui, also known as Zainab Siddiqui, in Bombay High Court. Actor is seeking INR1 billion in damages and written apology from both Aaliya and her brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui, whom he accused of making false and defamatory statements about him, reported PTI.

Suit alleges that Shamasuddin, who was Nawazuddin’s manager in 2008 assigned all financial work to him and later cheated and defrauded him by purchasing properties using actor’s money. When Nawazuddin raised queries about fraud, Shamasuddin instigated Aaliya to file false case against him.

Nawazuddin has also urged High Court to permanently restrain Aaliya and Shamasuddin from making any statements that would defame him, accusing them of misappropriating INR210 million from him. Nawazuddin made headlines in January when Aaliya claimed that she was being harassed at his home in Mumbai. She had returned with their children from Dubai and actor’s mother had filed complaint against her over property dispute.
