Aaliya Siddiqui, wife of actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, faces serious allegations of financial fraud, cheque dishonour, and breach of settlement by film financiers. Film producer Gurudas Pai’s legal reply exposes her alleged deceit. Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) reveals a pattern of controversies, including identity misuse and previous financial disputes across jurisdictions.
Legal Dispute Over Film ‘Holy Cow’ Settlement
Aaliya Siddiqui—who also uses the names Anjana Kishore Pandey and Zainab Siddiqui—is facing fresh allegations of financial fraud and breach of trust. A legal reply by Advocate Rina H. Pujara, dated 9th November 2022, has exposed how Aaliya allegedly defaulted on payments due to film financiers Manju Garhwal and Gurudas Pai after a formal settlement.
According to the advocate’s letter, Aaliya had voluntarily issued cheques in November 2022 following the settlement of dues related to the film Holy Cow. These cheques, however, were later dishonoured when Aaliya allegedly instructed her bank to stop payments—despite a mutual agreement confirmed over email on 22nd August 2022.
The Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) accessed and verified this correspondence, which strongly contradicts Aaliya’s subsequent legal notice claiming coercion and fraud. Advocate Pujara describes Aaliya’s claims as “fabricated, baseless, and made with malicious intent to avoid liability.”
Cheating Allegations and Delay Tactics Exposed
The legal reply further discloses that Aaliya demanded fresh reconciliation of accounts three and a half years after documents and ledgers were already handed over—raising serious concerns about her intent. “Her demands are absurd, clearly aimed at harassing my clients and avoiding payment,” Advocate Pujara wrote.
Notably, Aaliya accused Garhwal of coercing her into a meeting facilitated by members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The reply firmly refutes this, calling it an “afterthought” and adding that the meeting was mutually agreed upon. Sprouts SIT has found no evidence to support Aaliya’s claim of coercion.
Furthermore, Aaliya’s attempt to paint herself as a victim of extortion is contradicted by the timeline. The legal team notes that if coercion was involved, Aaliya should have taken immediate legal action. Instead, she waited two months before making the accusation—casting doubt on the credibility of her claims.
Sprouts News Targeted for Exposing the Truth
In a disturbing turn, Aaliya served a legal notice to Sprouts News following the publication of its exclusive investigation titled “Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Wife in Legal Trouble” on March 8, 2025. The notice appears to be a strategic move to intimidate and suppress media scrutiny.
However, Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) stands firm. “We will not succumb to pressure. We are committed to protecting public interest and press freedom. We believe in India’s Constitution and will continue to report the truth,” stated Editor-in-Chief Unmesh Gujarathi.
Sprouts, a DGIPR and DAVP-approved publication with a huge circulation, has become a trusted source for exposing corruption, white-collar crime, and celebrity cover-ups.
Pattern of Controversies Surrounding Aaliya Siddiqui
This is not the first time Aaliya Siddiqui has made headlines for the wrong reasons. In 2023, she was embroiled in a bitter legal and domestic dispute with her husband, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui. She accused him of domestic abuse and financial negligence, while Nawazuddin’s legal team countered with allegations of property extortion and illegal occupation of his Mumbai flat.
In a separate controversy, Aaliya was accused by a former business partner in Dubai of misappropriating funds from a joint production venture. The case, though quietly settled, raised serious questions about her overseas dealings and financial ethics. Industry insiders whispered about her pattern of falling out with financiers and evading liabilities.
Sources also allege that Aaliya manipulated multiple identities—using names like Anjana Pandey and Zainab Siddiqui—to sign documents, open accounts, and escape background checks in different regions. This murky identity trail has further complicated ongoing investigations.

Call for Criminal Inquiry into Alleged Financial Fraud
Given the volume and consistency of allegations, industry experts and victims are now calling for a deeper probe into Aaliya Siddiqui’s financial dealings. “This is beyond a civil matter—it hints at organized, repeated deception across jurisdictions,” a senior Mumbai-based legal analyst told Sprouts SIT.
Victims are reportedly considering approaching the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) to initiate criminal proceedings. The misuse of cheques, false representations, and potential benami transactions all point to a possible money laundering angle.
Sprouts SIT is actively tracking developments in the case and has confirmed that more whistleblowers are ready to speak out. With multiple people stepping forward, this may evolve into one of Bollywood’s most explosive financial scandals.
Truth Must Prevail
The legal and financial allegations against Aaliya Siddiqui are grave and growing. Despite her efforts to silence media and evade accountability, facts continue to surface. As Bollywood faces increasing scrutiny over opaque financial practices, this case underscores the urgent need for transparency and enforcement.
Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) reiterates its commitment to fearless journalism and will continue to follow this case until justice is served.
