Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Stars Endorsing Fairness Creams Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui thinks that promoting fairness creams is shamelessness and it’s high time celebs stopped endorsing it
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui is known for not mincing words and speaking his mind fearlessly. The
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actor, while speaking to a few media agencies, said that
endorsing fairness cream is an act of shamelessness and celebs should stay away
from promoting such products.
"Promoting a
fairness cream is shamelessness. Stars must stop endorsing it. I keep saying
this and I'll always say that people should be ashamed of themselves for
endorsing the fairness creams," said Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
In July, the
actor had an encounter with casting director, who apparently said that he
cannot be ‘paired along with the fair and handsome" because he's
"dark and not good looking." The actor tweeted to his fans
about the encounter and it is believed that he had taken a sly dig at casting
director Sanjay Chauhan.
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.

However, Sanjay
Chauhan later said that he was misquoted and had never used the words fair and
handsome. “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,” said
Sanjay.
"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," he added.
A few days ago,
SpotboyE.com had told you how Baywatch actress Priyanka Chopra regrets
endorsing a skin-lightening product in her early twenties. "When I was an
actor, around my early twenties, I did a commercial for a skin-lightening
cream. I was playing that girl with insecurities. And when I saw it, I was
like, "Oh shit. What did I do?" I started talking about being proud
of the way I looked. I actually like my skin tone," said PeeCee.
