Mumbai: Social media influencer and Bigg Boss OTT 3 fame Adnaan Shaikh has been embroiled in controversy following his marriage to Ayesha Shaikh, with tensions escalating due to allegations from his sister, Iffat Shaikh. The trouble started after Ifat filed a police report accusing her brother of physical assault and claiming that he had also assaulted her father-in-law.
Ifat also claims that Ayesha, a former Indigo flight attendant, converted to Islam to marry Adnaan. Iffat claimed that Ayesha’s original name was Riddhi Jadhav and even leaked pictures from Ayesha’s past, further fanning the flames of the controversy.
Adnaan had even banned paparazzi and guests from taking pictures of Aisha at the wedding. In images from the ceremony, Ayesha was seen wearing a face mask, which attracted attention and criticism. However, Adnaan explained his intentions in an interview with Hindustan Times saying, “Main parde mai rakhna chahata tha ussey. I didn’t want to use my wife as social media content like others do. I wanted to keep my love life private because I have watched nazar lag jaati hai and nazar bahut buri cheez hai. I don’t care about the trolling around him.’
The family dispute deepened when Ifat filed an FIR accusing Adnaan of physically assaulting her and her father-in-law. Addressing the allegations, Adnaan shared his side of the story, claiming that the root of the problem lies in financial demand. “Her father-in-law wanted an apartment, but I refused to provide it. They also wanted me to marry my sister’s husband’s sister, but I was in love with Aisha and wanted to marry only her,” he said.
Adnaan Shaikh and Ayesha Shaikh tied the knot on September 24 in a grand ceremony in Mumbai.
