Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Stars Endorsing Fairness Creams Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves

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.

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.
