27 Apr
Summary
- Nawazuddin highlights racism in Bollywood based on appearance.
- Fair skin is often prioritized in film narratives and casting.
- The camera itself is impartial and does not judge beauty.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has shed light on significant racism and biases prevalent in the Hindi film industry, suggesting that an actor's color and appearance can supersede their talent.
Siddiqui observed that Bollywood narratives frequently center on fair-skinned women, impacting casting decisions. He shared that while a dark-skinned actress might be seen as ordinary in India, she could be perceived as exotic elsewhere. This, he noted, is often due to stories being written to favor lighter complexions.
The actor also lauded the late Smita Patil, asserting that the beauty captured by a camera is distinct and impartial. He stated that the camera itself does not pass judgment on who or what is beautiful.
On the professional front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is slated to appear in "Tumbbad 2" and "Noorani Chehra."
