Mumbai: Nawazuddin Siddiqui's former
girlfriend Sunita Rajwar, whom the actor had called his 'first
love' in his now withdrawn memoir, has filed a legal notice
against him and demanded a compensation of Rs two crore.
Sunita, a television and theatre personality, said that
she sent a legal notice to Nawazuddin on November 4, for
tarnishing her image and causing mental agony.
"The damage is done, nothing can't be changed. He has
apologised but it seems more like a disclaimer. The way he has
taken the names in his book and made story around it, is not
right.
"He said the book is withdrawn but it is available
online. I ordered two books I got the first one on November 4
and the second on November 7. The circulation of the book is
going online. So it is one lie, after another," Sunita told
PTI.
She said that the actor has not yet responded to her
notice.
"He is doing such great work, I don't understand why
he had to do all this? He has hurt me badly but still I had
forgiven him.
"Now suddenly after 14-15 years, you are talking about us
and that too by making up great stories, it is not done. I
have a family, I can't sit like this and take it all," she
added.
The seven-page legal notice notifies Nawazuddin, co-
author Rituparna Chatterjee and publishers of the book.
When contacted, Nawazuddin was not available for a
comment.
Nawazuddin had earlier issued an apology for "hurting the
sentiments" of women whose names he had mentioned in his
memoir, allegedly without their consent and had decided to
withdraw the book.
