Sanjay Chauhan on the Nawazuddin controversy: I never used the words fair and handsome
Sanjay Chauhan commented on the Nawazuddin Siddiqui controversy saying that he was completely misquoted.
We read how power house actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui was hurt by the insensitive remarks made by the casting director of his film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. Sanjay Chauhan was reported to have said in an interview to a leading daily that he could not cast fair and handsome people with Nawazuddin.
Nawazuddin had taken to Twitter to get back at Chauhan saying, "Thank you for making me realise that I cannot be paired along with the fair and handsome because I’m dark and not good looking, but I never focus on that."
However, after receiving a lot of backlash from the public and the industry, Sanjay revealed that he was totally misquoted. Sanjay clarified, "I was completely misquoted. All I said was the film needed actors as good as Nawazuddin. You need actors who could match his stature. I don’t know from where the fair and handsome bit came but I never said the words."
He added, "I would never want to hurt Nawaz sir or the film by giving such statements. I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I am deeply saddened by how the comments, which I never made in the first place, have turned out."
Well, what do you think of that?
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is directed by Kushan Nandy and produced by Kiran Shyam Shroff and Ashmith Kunder. The film features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bengali actress Bidita Bag in the lead roles.
