Nawazuddin Siddiqui's estranged wife Aaliya has revealed why she chose to talk publicly about her problems with the actor.

Aaliya and Nawazuddin are parents to daughter Shora (13) and son Yaani Siddiqui (7). Earlier, Aaliya alleged that Nawazuddin’s mother harassed her and claimed that the actor ‘disowned’ their children. In April, a court ordered their children to return to Dubai for their studies. It also asked Aaliya and Nawazuddin to join them. Aaliya and Nawazuddin have been engaged in ugly public fights for a long time.

In an interview with News18, Aaliya said, “I had to talk about these things in public because I was suffering a lot. I felt like I would suffocate if I didn’t. The decision taken by the court finally makes me feel I’m at peace. Only I know what I went through mentally. One can imagine the kind of misery a person is in if they talk about their private matters in public. I still think that I shouldn’t have spoken about these things in public. But when you’re in deep trouble, you’ve to resort to a public forum because you’ve no one to listen to you...When you’ve no one listening to you, you’ve to fight.”
