Nawazuddin Siddiqui calls himself 'ugliest actor' in Bollywood
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is considered one of the best actors in the industry working today, having acted in films like The Lunchbox, Gangs of Wasseypur, Kahaani and Sacred Games. However, the actor also faced a lot of discrimination in the industry based on his looks.
In a new interview with News18, Nawazuddin shared that he considers himself to be the 'ugliest actor – physically – in the film industry' today and told why.
"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," he said.
