Nawazuddin Embarrassed By Distasteful Comparisons With Archana Puransingh

Ever since the  first-look poster of his new film Haddi was released, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been hearing  and reading that  the transgender  character that he  plays  resembles  actress-anchor Archana Puransigh.

“It’s very flattering, because they are talking about a very beautiful  woman  there. If my character  in Haddi looks anything like her then I must have done something right,” says Nawaz.

However having said this, Nawaz  feel this current trend of  comparisons and  catty comments are deleterious  to  the mental  health of the nation. “People are spending too much time trying to find new ways of amusing themselves by insulting others. This is not healthy. Targeting  films and actors  has  become the  biggest entertainment in  the country. Main yeh sab dekhta hi  nahin hoon(I don’t  look at  all this nonsense).”
