Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who revealed in the past that he has faced rejection because of his looks in Bollywood, recently revealed that people have demotivated him over his looks. He shared that people have also told him to see his face before becoming an actor.
During an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared that he became thick-skinned to criticism on his looks.He said, “Looks ko lekar hoti thi aksar kyuki itna demoralise kar diya gaya tha. Kehte the ki, ‘Arre shakal toh dekhle yaar kyu actor banne aajaate ho, kaha se aate ho’. Par hum bhi besharam hogaye the, moti chamdri hogaye the. Karlenge jitna bhi karna hai, karna toh bhai yehi hai, acting hi karni hai.” (People used to often criticise me over my looks and they have demoralised me. People used to say, “Oh, at least look at your face, why did you come to become an actor? But even we were shameless and became thick-skinned to such criticism. We used to continue doing it as acting is what we want to do.)
He further added that people start noticing your looks post-stardom. Nawaz stated, “Ha main abhi khoosurat hogaya hu, log bolte bhi hai. Abhi bolte hai ‘Nawaz bhai kya lagte ho tum’. Kehete ki jab aapko kaamyabi milti hai toh log aapko face ko dhyaan se dekha jaata hai.”
On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Rautu ka Raaz’, which is releasing on Zee5 on June 28.
