Nawazuddin Siddiqui lashes out at celebrities for posting pictures from their Maldives vacation

Nawazuddin Siddiqui lashes out at celebrities for posting pictures from their Maldives vacation

By Murtuza Iqbal

India is currently in a bad situation. The second wave of Covid-19 has affected the country a lot. Amidst this, a lot of Bollywood celebs have been going for a vacation to Maldives, and people on social media have been bashing celebrities for going on a vacation and posting pictures of it on social media.


Recently, while talking to Bollywood Hungama, Nawazuddin Siddiqui also lashed out at celebrities for posting pictures from their Maldives holiday.

He told the portal, “These entertainment celebrities posting vacation pictures at a time when the world is reeling under the worst recession. Logon ke pass khana nahin hai aur aap paise phenk rahe ho. Kuch toh sharam karo.”

“But what else will they talk about? Acting? They will run out of steam in two minutes. In logon ne Maldives ko tamasaha bana rakha hai. I don’t know what their arrangement is with the tourism industry. But for the sake of humanity, please keep these vacations to yourself. There is suffering everywhere. The cases of Covid are multiplying. Have a heart. Please don’t taunt those who are suffering,” he added.

When asked if he plans to go for a vacation to Maldives, the actor told the portal, “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
