In a now-deleted tweet, Feroze Khan wrote “sending best wishes to favourite actor” while quoting Nawazuddin’s response to the allegations.

Feroze Khan was also accused of domestic violence and psychological abuse by his wife, Syeda Aliza Sultan. In December, the court had asked for evidence of “blunt injuries on both arms, [the] back, chest and face” to be verified, as Feroze sought for custody of the couple’s children.

Siddiqui’s wife had alleged in a series of videos a few days ago that she and her two children had been forced out of her house in Mumbai by the actor. She also added that she had no money.

She later added that she had been taken in by a relative.

“You cannot break me or my children,” she had written.

In response Siddiqui wrote that he and his wife had separated a while back and he had been bearing her expenses including the children’s school fees.

However, he added that the children had not been attending school and he was concerned for their education.

He added that he had dilligently paid his wife including funding her film projects. He also alleged that she had sued him in the past and withdrawn the cases when money was paid.

He added that he was placing faith in the judiciary to sort the matter out.
