Nawazuddin Siddiqui opened up on being criticised for his look in Bollywood. The actor also called himself the ugliest actor in the Indian film industry. Despite facing discrimination, he clarified that he has no complaints about being in Bollywood. Nawazuddin further thanked filmmakers for giving him various roles to play. He asserted that if one has talent then the person will get opportunities to stick in the industry.
In an interview with News18, Nawazuddin said “Pata nahi shakalo se humari nafrat kyun hai kuch logon ko. Kyunki shakal hee aisi hai – itne badsurat hai humlog. Humein bhi lagta hai jab apne aap ko aaine mein dekhte hai. Hum bhi bolte hai apne aap ko ‘kyun aa gaye film industry mein itne gande shakal leke?’ (I don’t know why some people hate the way we look. Maybe it’s because we’re just that ugly. Even I feel it when I look at myself in the mirror. I question why I came into the film industry with such a bad appearance).”
“I’m the ugliest actor – physically – in the film industry. Main toh yeh maanta hoon. Kyun ki main shuru se yeh sab sunte aa raha hoon aur abhi maanne bhi laga hoon (I have been hearing it for so long that I’ve started to believe it. I have no complaints about the film industry),” he added.
“Film industry say mujhe koi shikhayat nahin hai. I want to thank all the directors that have given me variety of characters. Agar aapke andar thora saa bhi talent hai toh industry bahut kuch deti hai. Society mein discrimination hai, industry mein nahi (If you have even a bit of talent, the industry offers you a lot. There’s discrimination in society, but not in the industry),” he concluded.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in Zee5’s Rautu Ka Raaz. The movie also starred Rajesh Kumar, Atul Tiwari, Narayani Shastri, Samridhi Chandola and Harshit Verma in key roles. The movie was released on the OTT platform on 28th June.
