Aaliya said she was not comfortable earlier, but when she saw Nawazuddin’s photos, she liked her eyes, which she found very sexy. Later, they met each other, fell in love, and started staying together. After listening to her story, Cyrus asked her if she had a second man in her life. Replying to that, Aaliya said the second man is from Italy, and he is a very handsome man. There's no denying it. So she told him that one of my friends had a crush on him.
