‘This year went well as an actor’
Actor Nawazuddin Siddqui, who had two big releases this year — Serious Men and Raat Akeli Hai, said due to the pandemic this year went by like how it was for others but as an actor it went well.
In 2020, Nawazuddin was seen in two projects seen playing Jatil Yadav in Raat Akeli Hai and Ayyan Mani in Serious Men, which have been two of the most memorable characters in the Indian OTT space, in a year when visual entertainment has been defined by digital content.
Looking back at his 2020 journey, Nawazuddin said, “As a human being this year has gone by like the others. But as an actor, if we see, two films released Serious Men and Raat Akeli Hai.”
‘Friends, how come we have made ourselves so vulnerable in front of terrorists and foreign powers? Every single day I have to justify my intention, whereas I am a patriotic person. What is Diljit Dosanjh and Priyanka Chopra doing? Why doesn't anyone question them? If I am doing rajneeti (politics) by talking in favour of the country, what kind of neeti are these people doing? Please ask them.’
