Bollywood might be obsessed with six-pack abs and dreamy hair, but there’s one actor who has broken the mold and shown that talent trumps all – Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Known for powerhouse performances in gems like The Lunchbox, Gangs of Wasseypur, Kahaani, and the gritty series Sacred Games, Nawazuddin has faced his fair share of harsh judgments about his looks. In a recent heart-to-heart with News18, the actor got candid about being dubbed the ‘ugliest actor’ in the industry and why he’s totally fine with it.
Nawazuddin siddiqui’s Unfiltered Truth
In the interview, Nawazuddin didn’t mince words. He said, “Pata nahi shakalo se humari nafrat kyun hai kuch logon ko. Kyunki shakal hee aisi hai – itne badsurat hai humlog. Humein bhi lagta hai jab apne aap ko aaine mein dekhte hai. Hum bhi bolte hai apne aap ko ‘kyun aa gaye film industry mein itne gande shakal leke?’ (I don’t know why some people hate the way we look. Maybe it’s because we’re just that ugly. Even I feel it when I look at myself in the mirror. I question why I came into the film industry with such a bad appearance).”

Nawaz continued, “I’m the ugliest actor – physically – in the film industry. Main toh yeh maanta hoon. Kyun ki main shuru se yeh sab sunte aa raha hoon aur abhi maanne bhi laga hoon (I have been hearing it for so long that I’ve started to believe it).” Despite this, Nawazuddin holds no grudges against Bollywood. He’s grateful for the diverse roles that have come his way and the chance to show his acting chops.
Nawazuddin’s journey in Bollywood is a testament to his incredible talent and versatility. He continues to prove that an actor’s worth isn’t measured by their looks but by their ability to bring characters to life.
