It seems like there’s lots of news surrounding Nawazuddin Siddiqui these days and unfortunately, it’s not all surrounding his impeccable acting chops. Earlier last month, Nawaz was in the news when his wife Aliyah Siddiqui filed for divorce and stated his brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui as one of the prime reasons for their separation. Now, it’s not his wife that’s making the news but it’s his niece. She has filed a complaint against Nawaz’s brother for sexual harassment.
In a report by Times Of India, the girl talked about how she was raised by her stepmother as her parents got divorced when she was two. She said as a child she didn’t realize what was going on thinking that it was her uncle. But as she grew up she figured out that it was a different kind of touch and she also said he used violence too. She told the leading daily that Nawaz didn’t support her when she confided in him about this and recounted that his reaction was, ‘He is your uncle, he can’t do this.’
She said how she had trusted Nawaz to understand her as her bade papa and as he came from a different society and mentality but was left shocked when she heard this.
Meanwhile, Shamas has denied the allegations saying that the girl is trying to misguide the law and tweeted about the same.
How can someone misguide the law and file the same case with different statement at @DelhiPolice , when there was no name of @Nawazuddin_S in the earlier statement given 2 years back to Court & the case is in #UttrakhandHighCourt as well.

Nawaz is still choosing to remain silent about his ongoing divorce and the above allegations against his brother.
