Nawazuddin Siddiqui is considered one of the finest actors in the country. The actor has been poured with love and support with his work onscreen. That’s that, the actor had to face his own set of struggles too in the industry.
Recently speaking about his struggles, the actor said to Bollywood Hungama, that how racism is a bigger problem in this industry than nepotism. The actor has also said that he has faced the same for several years.
He said, “Sudhir saab has immense knowledge about cinema, and his thought process is very practical. He cast her as the heroine, and I can guarantee you that there is so much racism in our industry, I will be very happy if she is cast as the lead again. Sudhir Mishra did it, but what about the head honchos in charge? More than nepotism, we have a racism problem,”
He added, “I fought against it for many years, and I hope that dark-skinned actresses are made heroines; it’s very important I’m not even talking about skin colour; there is a bias that exists in the industry which needs to end for better films to be made… I was rejected for many years only because I’m short and I look a certain way, although I can’t complain now. But there are so many other great actors who fall prey to this kind of bias.” as quoted by Spot Boye.
