Aaliya, whose name was Anjana Pandey before marriage, added, Actually my self-respect was gradually being destroyed. Speaking about her life before and after marriage, Aaliya said, The way you are raised in your house you come from, how your mother and brother take care of you, and then suddenly you are forced to change your religion. Anyway, that was necessary to get married. So, I did it for him when he had asked me to. But then your life changes so badly that you realise that you were nothing in his life. You were just living alone with his children for ten years. So, I decided to end it.
Speaking about her decision to end the marriage, Aaliya said, Two months of lockdown gave me a lot of time to introspect. Opening up about her issues with Nawazuddin, Aaliya said that problems in her marriage had begun from the time she had gotten married but she did not opt to bring them forward until now. She said that she was trying to solve the issues and waiting for their relationship to get better but she finally had to file for a divorce as she couldn’t take it anymore.
Aaliya has also alleged that Nawazuddin is not a good father and that he doesn’t care about his kids at all. She said, However big an actor you’ve become, whats the point if you’re not a good person? Whats the point if you can’t respect your wife and kids Our kids don’t even remember when their father last visited them. It’s been 3-4 months since hes met his kids but he doesn’t care. The kids have also become used to it. At the beginning of our marriage he had told me that it’s enough for us if hes the sole bread winner. I don’t know what I will do but I want to live life with respect and not as the wife of a star.

The Kashmir Files should be declared tax-free in Maharashtra, says BJP spokesperson Rajeev Panday
BJP spokesperson for Maharashtra Rajeev Panday, while speaking to Nation Next, said the controversial movie ‘The Kashmir Files,’ which grossed over ₹240 crore in India, should be made tax-free in the state.
Panday told Nation Next, “The movie has managed to depict, if not all, the brutalities on Kashmiri Pandits. It is a bold representation of truth. Kashmiri Pandit community was forced to leave their own homes in the country. Imagine their plight! Maharashtra government should make it tax-free in their state like the BJP did.”
The movie, which is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s, has been made tax-free in at least BJP-run eight states namely Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Goa, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had also received requests asking him to exempt the film from entertainment tax in the state.
