Nawaz doesn’t want to hurt anybody, withdraws book
Nawazuddin Siddiqui finally decides to withdraw his book, An Extraordinary life: A Memoir and apologised on Twitter.
Siddiqui wrote, “I m apologising to everyone who’s sentiments are hurt because of the chaos around my memoir #AnOrdinarylifeI hereby regret and decide to withdraw my book.”
This decision came in the awake of several people accusing him of fabricating stories for publicity. ) Former beauty queen Niharika Singh was upset that her Miss lovely co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui did not take her consent before sharing their personal equation with the world in his memoir. She says the way he has “painted” her image, it appears he doesn't mind disrespecting a woman to boost the sales of his book.
In a statement, Niharika said, “Nawaz and I had a brief relationship in 2009 during the making of Miss lovely that lasted less than a few months. So today, when he paints me as a woman in fur enticing him into her bedroom with candles, or desperately calling him and mailing other women on his behalf, I can only laugh. He obviously wants to sell his book and it would appear that he is willing to exploit and disrespect a woman just to do so.”
Yesterday, a Delhi-based advocate has registered a complaint with the National Commission for Women (NCW) for outraging the modesty of Niharika Singh, a report said.
The advocate told the daily about his complaint, “I don’t know Niharika Singh personally nor have I spoken to her. I have lodged a complaint with NCW with a request to give direction for the registration of FIR under sections 376 (rape), 497 (adultery) and 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman) of IPC. He was evidently married when he was having an affair with Niharika and kept her in the dark about it.”
The complaint reads, “The actor has published it without having second thoughts about how this kind of act can ruin the married life of the victim. For minting money and garnering free publicity for his book, the actor has bargained the modesty of a woman.”
last week excerpts from An Ordinary life... (Penguin Random House, 240-page), a memoir that Nawazuddin has come out with Rituparna Chatterjee, have revealed that the National Award winning actor has spoken extensively on his personal life and relationships with Niharika Singh and Sunita Rajwar, who called his book “extraordinary lies.”
Following Niharika, Sunita voiced her discent in a post on Facebook, “Kayi baatein Nawaz ne apne mann se, apne hisaab se aur apne haq mein likhi hai, chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri types. Unhone badi hi khubsoorati se khud ko bura bhi keh diya hai aur utni hi khubsoorati se apni burayi ka saara thikara auraton par bhi phod diya hai, khaas kar mujhpe, kyunki unki maane toh mere baad unka pyaar se aur auraton se vishwas hi uth gaya tha aur unke saare emotions RIP yaani rest in peace ho gaye the (Nawaz has written many things from his own imagination as well as changed facts to show himself in a positive light. With great skill, he has called himself a bad person and with the same skill, he has blamed it on women, especially me, because according to him, I was the reason he stopped believing in love and women and all his emotions died.)”
Guilty Spacey admits he is gay
Actor Kevin Spacey says he has now decided to “live as a gay man” after being accused of sexual misconduct by actor Anthony Rapp, who has accused Spacey of traumatising him when he was 14-year-old.
In an interview on Sunday to media company Buzzfeed, Rapp said he was left traumatised after Spacey lay on top of him on an evening at Spacey's Manhanttan apartment 31 years ago.
On Monday, Spacey, who has been private about his personal life and sexuality in the past, apologised to Rapp on Twitter and declared that he now wants to live his life as gay. Spacey tweeted, “I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years.”
“As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly,” he added.
