While talking to Deccan Chronicle, Sanjay Chouhan said, “Nawaz was on the project even before its inception. Later Chitrangada Singh who was roped in opposite Nawaz left the project abruptly. So we had to again hunt for the leading lady. Keeping Nawaz in mind, all other characters were taken on board. We can’t cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz. It would look so weird. You have to take people with distinct features and personalities when pairing them with him.”

When the Babumoshai Bandookbaaz star got to know about this comment, he tweeted, “Thank U 4 making me realise dat I cannot b paired along wid d fair & handsome bcz I m dark & not good looking, but I never focus on that.” Soon after that, this comment has garnered limelight across the social media. That’s not all even the news channels are debating about this news.

When Raza Murad was approached for the comment, he said, this is not at all a good thing and the casting director must apologise for his remark. Even he tweeted on social media saying, “Bad taste to discuss skin colour; @Nawazuddin_S has reacted correctly, Sanjay Chauhan should apologise.”

Altogether, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a serious actor and an open minded person but this tweet has surely hurt him to the core.
