Nawazuddin’s ex-girlfriend slaps Rs 2 crore legal notice

MUMBAI: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s former girlfriend Sunita Rajwar, whom he had called his ‘first love’ in his now

withdrawn memoir

, has issued a legal notice to him and demanded Rs 2 crore compensation for tarnishing her image and causing mental agony.

Sunita, a TV and theatre personality, said she sent the notice on November 4. It notifies Nawazuddin, co-author

Rituparna Chatterjee

and the publisher.

“The damage is done...He has apologized, but it seems more like a disclaimer. The way he has taken the names in his bo-ok and made story around, it is not right...He said the book is withdrawn, but it is available online...it is one lie, after another,”

Sunita

said, adding that he 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...by making up great stories, it is not done.”

Nawazuddin was not available for a comment. He 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.
