Nawazuddin Siddiqui Asked His Niece What Films She Had Been Watching To ‘Cook Up Such Allegations’ When She Opened Up About Sexual Harassment

It looks like now is not the best time iin Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s personal life. He had lost his sister a few months back after her battle with cancer. His estranged wife, Aaliya Siddiqui has sought for divorce from him and has alleged that he never gave her the respect that she deserved.  Now, his niece has lodged a complaint at a Delhi Police Station against his brother Minazuddin claiming that she had been sexually assaulted by him. Not just has she given details about it but also said that when she opened up about it to her ‘bade papa’ Nawazuddin, he had shown apathy and allegedly said, “what movies are you watching to cook up such allegations?”

In an interview with Bollywood Life, Nawazuddin’s niece has baared open her heart. The 20 year oold said that she had been facing it since she was 9 years old and at that time, she did not understand what was going on. She added, “As I grew, I began realising that this isn't right. And I didn't tell them just once, but I told them repeatedly. And it continued even after I had told them as nobody supported me.” And when he had gone to Nawauddin, who she calls her ‘bade papa’, he dismissed it by saying, “Which movie are you watching for you to cook up such allegations? This isn't possible.” 

She even recalled how she had been harassed just three years back in September 2017. She said, “Minaz had come and started touching me inappropriately, again. I screamed, but he held my mouth, and continued touching me. He tried forcing himself on me, but I kept resisting. I shouted again, so he removed his belt and began whacking me ferociously on my chest and back for at least 5 whole minutes. He even started pulling my hair and hitting me.”

We hope that justice and truth prevails in the case.
