Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui files defamation suit against Brother, Ex-wife, Seeks ₹100 crores in damages

The actor also demanded a written apology from his ex-wife and brother. He said in the lawsuit that Shamasuddin, who was his manager in 2008, “blindly” assigned him all the financial work. He also alleged that Shamasuddin started cheating Nawazuddin and bought properties using the actor’s money.

He further alleged that when the actor came to know about the scam and raised queries, Shamasuddin instigated his ex-wife Aaliya to file a false allegation against Nawazuddin. Recently, the actor and Aaliya got into a property dispute.

Meanwhile, Nawazuddin also urged the Supreme Court to permanently restrain Aaliya and his brother from making any statements or remarks defamatory of him. He accused them of misappropriating ₹21 crores from him.

The suit also said that when the actor demanded that the properties be returned to him, Shamasuddin and Aaliya conspired against him and started blackmailing him through “cheap videos and comments on social media”. The matter will reportedly be heard on March 30 by single justice Riyaz Chagla.

Meanwhile, Shamas has leveled several allegations against Nawazuddin in response to the defamation suit. In the tweet, he accused the actor of ‘ruining’ eleven years of his life and committing 11 other serious crimes.

He also claimed that the actor was married three times. Sharing a long list of such claims, Shamas wrote in Hindi, “Dear brother #NawazuddinSiddiqui, these are not allegations but emotions.”

Nawazuddin made headlines back in January when Aaliya alleged that she was molested at Nawazuddin’s house in Mumbai. She returned with their children – Shora and Yaani from Dubai. The actor’s mother filed a complaint against her due to a property dispute.
