“I am just the same person. I am an actor and I just want to work. I just want to act. I don’t want to talk about anyone and what is happening in my personal life. I don’t want people to focus on that. I am known and have become popular due to my work and so I just want to concentrate on my work”, said Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
There were some allegations against him claiming that he hired a private detective to spy on his wife.
“I do not feel bad. I just feel why to focus on someone’s personal life. Celebrities are also a human being. Everyone criticizes celebrities for every little thing and that should not happen. They are normal human beings,” he added.
When asked about the sexual assault allegation against filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, Nawazuddin Siddiqui maintained a no comment stance.
“I just don’t want to talk about it. Why unnecessarily create controversy again,” he said.
The 44-year-old actor said he is afraid of controversies and wants to concentrate on his work.
“For me my career is important. After so many years of struggle, I am getting work, so I want to focus on it. I want to try and stay away from all this. Now whether I get affected or not, it is a personal thing”, he added further.
