"Thank U 4 making me realise dat I cannot b paired along wid d fair & handsome bcz I m dark & not good looking, but I never focus on that," Nawaz had tweeted...
While there has been huge debate over social media about nepotism in Bollywood lately, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always maintained that it is racism that is a bigger demon in Bollywood. He has, on several occasions, revealed how he was at the receiving end of it during his struggling days. Little did he know that despite being one of the top stars of the country he’ll still have to go through it. Just yesterday Nawaz put out a tweet that read, “Thank U 4 making me realise dat I cannot b paired along wid d fair & handsome bcz I m dark & not good looking, but I never focus on that.”
Soon the tweet went viral and it was speculated that his remark was towards the casting director Sanjay Chouhan of his upcoming film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. Sanjay had said to Deccan Chronicle, “Nawaz was on the project even before its inception. Later Chitrangada Singh who was roped in opposite Nawaz left the project abruptly. So, we had to again hunt for the leading lady. Keeping Nawaz in mind, all other characters were taken on board. We can’t cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz. It would look so weird. You have to take people with distinct features and personalities when pairing them with him.”
