‘You have neither talent nor image’: This actor was insulted by Rishi Kapoor, today, now he is a bigger star than Rishi Kapoor, his net worth is Rs…
Bollywood has been welcoming actors who don’t have connections, a godfather, or a filmy family background. It does take time for outsiders to showcase their talent to the audience, but the end result is often fame when everything falls into place. We are talking about one such actor who is from Muzaffarnagar. After graduating with a B.Sc. degree, he started his career as a chemist, and after a year or so, he developed an interest in acting.
The actor made his Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan in Sarfarosh. It was a small role. He was later seen in movies like Shool, Jungle, and Munnabhai MBBS. The actor rose to fame with 2010’s Peepli Live, where he played the role of a journalist. This movie brought him widespread recognition.
The actor in the question is Nawazuddin Siddiqui who has done movies like Kahaani, Gangs of Wasseypur, The Lunchbox, Manjhi- The Moutain Man, Bajraaangi Bhaijaan.
When Rishi Kapoor took a subtle dig at Nawazuddin Siddiqui
However, there was a time when Siddiqui’s ability was questioned by none other than veteran actor Rishi Kapoor. Yes, you heard it right! The actor targeted Siddiqui and also took a dig at his ability to play romantic roles.
Kapoor’s statement came as a reaction to Nawaz’s statement about romantic heroes. In an interview, Nawazuddin said that Bollywood had ‘cliched’ romantic heroes from decades who ‘run around trees’ for ‘ek hi tarah ka romance’. This statement didn’t go well with the Karz actor.
In an old interview, Rishi gave a strong reaction to Nawaz’s statement. He said, “You (Nawazuddin) haven’t done it (running around trees) in your life; neither will you get a chance to do it. And you aren’t capable of doing it either. You don’t have the image; you don’t have the talent.”
Nawazuddin’s net worth
As of 2024, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 160 crore. His significant earnings come from movies and brand endorsements, for which he charges a substantial fee.
