New Delhi: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the unconventional artists of this generation. Though he started with small roles, the ‘Manto’ actor has surely made a name for himself in the industry with his talent.
Well, amid the second wave of COVID-19, positive cases are increasing rapidly. Many celebrities also contracted the virus in the second wave. This includes Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and many more.
After the nationwide lockdown was lifted, many celebrities were seen vacationing in the Maldives. Even during the second wave of COVID-19, many B’Town stars have been spotted going for a vacation. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is, however, not impressed with stars going for vacations as he told SpotboyE, “These entertainment celebrities posting vacation pictures at a time when the world is reeling under the worst recession. ...Logon ke pass khana nahin hai aur aap paise phenk rahe ho . Kuch toh sharm karo.”
The ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ actor further requested the celebrities to not ‘taunt those who are suffering’ for the sake of humanity. He told, “In logon ne, Maldives ko tamasaha bana rakha hai. I don’t know what their arrangement is with the tourism industry. But for the sake of humanity, please keep these vacations to yourself. There is suffering everywhere. The cases of COVID are multiplying. Have a heart. Please don’t taunt those who are suffering. As a community, we entertainers in India need to grow up.”
When enquired if he has any plans of visiting the island, Nawaz said, “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”
Meanwhile, speaking on the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in ‘Serious Men’. He will be next seen starring in ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’ and ‘No Land’s Man’.
