Aftab did not like Shraddha wearing western or revealing outfits: Walkar had scars from cigarette burns, says friend

MUMBAI: Shraddha Walkar had several scars on her bust, thighs and upper hands which were caused by cigarette burns, says a friend who knew her well.

The friend who is a senior journalist and requested anonymity said Aftab was not happy with the fact that Shraddha used to wear shorts and mini skirts and tube tops or sleeveless outfits.

Once there was a big fight between the two as Shraddha wore a slightly cleavage-revealing top. Aftab burnt her cleavage skin with a cigarette butt and told her if you want me to marry you, you will have to wear a burkha.

According to the media person, Aftab had told Shraddha on several occasions, “in my religion our women wear burqas and frowned upon her for wearing shorts, mini skirts and such revealing outfits.” There were huge fights between the couple over Shraddha’s outfits.

According to sources, Shraddha Walkar was hospitalized in 2020 for intense back pain caused by Aftab Poonawalla assaulting her.

Reports allege that Aftab once burnt Shraddha’s back with a cigarette. In fact, Shraddha had several scars from cigarette burns, said the media personality who knew Shraddha for the last 4 years as she had participated in an online event.

Shraddha’s former colleague speaking to India Today TV revealed that on November 23, 2022, Shraddha had called him for help as Aftab had tried to stab and strangle her.

A police complaint was also filed in the matter. Later, Aftab managed to convince Shraddha to return threatening her with suicide, the report said.
