Nawazuddin Siddiqui on social media scrutiny

Talking about being unfazed by the social media scrutiny around his personal life, Nawazuddin Siddiqui told Hindustan Times, “Aadi ho chuki hain hum toh iss cheez ki (Now it’s become a habit). Earlier, I used to feel sad, but ab nahi because everything is a lie on social media.” He continued, “The image that is portrayed, it is never the truth.”

The actor added, “Moreover, I feel that people have also started believing less in it. Agar social media ek image bana raha hain ki yeh insaan aisa hain and aap uspar vishwaas karahe ho, toh aap bahut bade dhokhe main ho (If you believe the image of a person as portrayed in the media as true, you are dilutional).”

Nawaz on judging other based on reports

During the same chat, Nawaz revealed that he once formed opinions about his contemporaries based on how they were portrayed online, but his views of them changed when he met them in person. He said, “I used to form opinions about actors based on what I read online, but upon getting to know them personally, I found they were quite different.”

He continued, “Saari duniya kharaab nahi hoti (The entire world is not bad). There are always some good people jinki vajah se duniya bachi hui hain (There are good people who make the world a better place). I thank those who didn’t scrutinise my personal life during my challenging times.”
