“But what else will they (celebs) talk about? Acting? They will run out of steam in two minutes. 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,” Nawazuddin said while talking to a news outlet.
When questioned whether he would go on a vacay to the Maldives, he said, “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”
