Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui (who I thought was fabulous in Kahaani), recently stated in an interview that actors like John Abraham and Tusshar Kapoor may get recognition (for flaunting their butts!), they don’t have any substance. Oh snap! Here’s what he had to say about them and the double-standards in the industry.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui says, “Actors like John Abraham and Tusshar Kapoor love flaunting their butts, lekin unke paas substance nahi hai. I’d rather go hungry than do meaningless flicks.”
He also spoke about going to Cannes for the screening of his films, Gangs of Wasseypur and Miss Lovely. According to him, it was difficult to get suits from designers because no one was interested.
“I approached a few designers and asked if a suit could be made for my Cannes visit. They outright refused me. I then went to a shop, picked out a suit material and gave it to a local tailor. When an actor like me, who is going to Cannes to represent a film, approaches the designers, they outright refuse us. They don’t think we are worthy of their outfits.”
What do you think about Nawazuddin’s comments? Is he right about the double-standards in the industry?
