After sending a divorce notice to actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui a year back, his estranged wife Aaliya is now going to give her married life a second chance. It all started when she contracted and Nawazuddin came to see her.

Looking at the actor’s face after meeting his children was a turning point, she told Times of India.

“I was down with COVID, and Nawaz not only took care of the children, but also me. This was despite what I said about him. He kept our differences aside and looked after me. Whenever I have been under stress, he has always helped me. This pandemic was an eye-opener.

“I realised what matters the most is the well-being of your children and good health. Our children need us, and if their happiness lies in us being together, we can keep our disagreements aside. I have withdrawn the legal notice that I had filed. I don’t seek divorce anymore, and I want to give this marriage a chance,” she said.

In May, last year Aaliya sent the actor a divorce notice via WhatsApp and email, alleging that their marriage had been troubled for some 10-odd years. Now she has withdrawn her notice.

Nawazuddin is known for his roles in ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ and ‘Sacred Games’
