By this time, Siddiqui was dating a woman from New Jersey named Suzanne, and he also had a brief relationship with Niharika Singh, a former Miss India, with whom he co-starred in two films.[43]
Siddiqui later reconnected with Pandey, and after she converted to Islam and changed her first name to Aalia, they married and had two children, a daughter and a son.[44] The marriage soon went downhill, however, and in May 2020, Aalia Siddiqui announced on social media that she was seeking a divorce.[45][46]
