&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WEB DESK: Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui is one of the actors who secured his place in Bollywood without having a family background in the field. The versatile actor gave multiple hit flicks and greatly known for his flawless performance.Â &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides acting, the 43 year old actor often seen talking sensibly over sensitive issues. It seems like he never feels afraid to voice his opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Raees actor recently made another comment on social media and proves himself a gentle man. The post was made after the statement ofÂ the casting director Sanjay ChouhanÂ of his forthcoming filmÂ Babumoshai Bandookbaaz as he said,&lt;em&gt;"Nawaz was on the project even before its inception. Later Chitrangada Singh who was roped in opposite Nawaz left the project abruptly. So we had to again hunt for the leading lady.Â Keeping Nawaz in mind, all other characters were taken on board. We can't cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz. It would look so weird. You have to take people with distinct features and personalities when pairing them with him."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, the director's comment are harsh and rude. It shows B-town give preference to fair/handsome actors than skills or talent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, theÂ Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor took to twitter and replied very sensibly. He posted,"Thank you for making me realise that I cannot be paired along with the fair and handsome because I am dark and not good looking, but I never focus on that."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"&gt;
&lt;p dir="ltr" lang="en"&gt;Thank U 4 making me realise dat I cannot b paired along wid d fair &amp;amp; handsome bcz I m dark &amp;amp; not good looking, but I never focus on that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His back to back successful flicks speaks about his talent as well and we are impressed how he respond to direct comment without losing his cool. On the work front, he will next be seen in the flickÂ &lt;em&gt;Munna Micheal&lt;/em&gt; which will hit big screens on 21st July. And, Nawaz will also be seen Nandita Dasâ€™ short filmÂ asÂ Saadat Hasan Manto, titled,&lt;em&gt; In Defence of Freedom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
