Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his stellar performances and strong character portrayals, recently found himself at the center of controversy following statements made in an interview. Siddiqui, who was last seen in the horror film Adbhut alongside Diana Penty and Shreya Dhanwantri, is often in the limelight for his film roles and web series. However, this time, his candid comments about actresses Shraddha Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have drawn significant attention.
“I Don’t Know Shraddha Kapoor” Comment Creates Buzz
During an interview with Filmigyan, Siddiqui was asked to associate Bollywood celebrities with hashtags. When Shraddha Kapoor’s name came up, the actor’s response left many shocked. “I don’t know anything about Shraddha,” Siddiqui said, stirring reactions across social media. Fans of the Stree actress quickly voiced their surprise, with some questioning Siddiqui’s familiarity with contemporary Bollywood figures. He further mentioned that he had not seen Stree 2, adding to the speculation surrounding his statement.
Siddiqui’s comment has triggered a wave of online commentary, with fans debating whether his remark was genuine or a subtle dig at the actress. Social media users have flooded platforms like Twitter and Instagram, with various opinions emerging on the actor’s apparent lack of knowledge about Kapoor, who has been a prominent figure in Bollywood for years.
No Experience with Deepika Padukone’s Work
The conversation turned more surprising when Siddiqui spoke about another Bollywood A-lister, Deepika Padukone. “I have not seen her films to date and have not seen any of her work. So I don’t know how she earns,” the Gangs of Wasseypur actor stated. His revelation about one of Bollywood’s most successful actresses added further fuel to the online debate, with fans expressing disbelief over his unfamiliarity with Padukone’s extensive body of work.
Praise for Co-stars Kangana Ranaut and Avneet Kaur
On a more positive note, Siddiqui took the opportunity to praise his Tiku Weds Sheru co-stars, Avneet Kaur and Kangana Ranaut. Describing Kaur as “amazing, self-reliant, and a brilliant actress,” he lauded her talent. He also commended Kangana Ranaut, who produced Tiku Weds Sheru, stating, “As much as I have worked with Kangana, she does an amazing job on set, whether as an actor or a director.”
The interview has sparked widespread discussion, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s candid comments continuing to make headlines.
