Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of India’s most varied performers of his age; nonetheless, he recently admitted that some have thought him unappealing, and he has begun to think it himself. He also spoke about being subjected to colorism and unjust treatment in Bollywood, which has caused him to feel that he is the ‘ugliest actor’ in Bollywood.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui opens up on challenges in Bollywood; says, “I don’t know why some people hate the way I look”
Nawazuddin told News18, “I don’t know why some people hate the way I look. Maybe it’s because I’m 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 bad looks.”
“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.
However, Nawazuddin stated that, despite industry bias, he has continued to get good work. He said, “If you have even a bit of talent, the industry offers you a lot. There’s discrimination in society, but not in the industry.”
Further, he recalled the huge acceptance he received for his efforts in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur. He stated, “For months after the release, people would tell me they had watched it 25 to 30 times. Initially, I thought they were mocking me. It took me years to realize they were serious and that the movie had indeed made a significant impact.”
On the work front, Nawazuddin starrer Rautu Ka Raaz is streaming on Zee5.
