Nawazuddin
Siddiqui,
has
sent
a
legal
notice
to
his
wife
Aaliya
Siddiqui,
stating
that
she
retract
her
statements
given
to
two
media
platforms.
The
notice
sent
through
his
advocate
Adnan
Shaikh,
asked
her
to
issue
written
clarifications,
failing
which,
he
will
initiate
legal
action
against
her.
According
to
a
report
in
the
Free
Press
Journal,
the
defamation
notice
talks
about
Aaliya's
interview
with
a
media
platform,
that
quotes
her
as
saying
that
Nawazuddin
has
not
replied
to
her
divorce
notice.
The
notice
also
adds
one
of
her
other
interview
with
a
media
outlet
that
claims
that
Nawazuddin
is
not
paying
her
maintenance,
nor
paying
their
children's
school
fees.
Nawazuddin
in
his
legal
notice
stated
that
these
statements
made
by
Aaliya
are
untrue.
He
claims
to
have
replied
to
her
notice
within
the
stipulated
15
days
of
its
receipt.
It
also
stated
that
Aaliya's
claimsof
Nawazuddin
not
paying
maintenance
and
children's
fees
are
a
lie
and
were
stated
with
the
intention
to
defame
him.
Advocate
Adnan
Shaikh
reportedly
said,
"My
client
has
been
paying
maintenance
and
other
expenses
including
EMIs
during
the
lockdown,
just
as
he
did
before.
It
all
reflects
on
his
bank
account."
On
the
other
end,
the
report
also
stated
that
Aaliya
Siddiqui
has
decided
to
stand
by
her
claims.
She
said
that
she
has
not
lied,
has
proof
and
is
ready
to
face
legal
action
if
necessary.
Nawazuddin
is
currently
staying
in
his
hometown,
Budhana,
Uttar
Pradesh
and
seems
to
have
been
keeping
busy
with
something
other
than
acting.
Earlier
this
week,
the
actor
took
to
his
Instagram
page
and
shared
a
video
of
himself
helping
out
at
the
farm.
He
captioned
the
video,
"Done
for
the
day
!!!".
While
talking
to
a
media
portal
the
actor
said
farming
is
in
his
DNA.
"It's
not
about
'feeling
good'
or
'enjoyment'
because
this
is
a
habit
and
a
part
of
my
DNA
now.
My
forefathers
were
into
farming
and
even
I
did
the
same
initially
--
for
close
to
25
years
of
my
life.
When
I
moved
to
Mumbai,
it
--
of
course
--
came
to
a
halt
but
whenever
I
have
gone
back
to
my
village,
I
have
always
indulged
in
farming.
Honestly,
it
gives
me
a
lot
of
peace
of
mind,
and
plus,
it
all
also
comes
very
naturally," said
Nawazuddin.
