Nawazuddin admits he’s 'Gareeb’, says he used his acting skills to come up in life

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is definitely one of the most talented actors in the industry. Being a part of critically acclaimed films  like Black Friday, New York, Peepli Live, Kahani, Gangs of Wasseypur and The Lunchbox, Nawazuddin has taken over Bollywood with his exceptional acting skills. However, the actor who had a meteoric rise from rags to riches has lately become the butt of jokes. A Twitter page named 'Gareeb Aadmi', which has his image as its profile picture, is posting tweets, poking fun at the award-winning actor.

Talking about the handle, the versatile actor said, "Haan main gareeb aadmi hoon, it's true. They are not calling me a murderer so why should I be ashamed? The person, whose brainwave this handle was, should be ashamed of passing racist remarks in the guise of jokes."

Nawazuddin had previously said that he was poor and had to work as a watchman to support himself.

"So what, everyone has a past? We were poor then but are doing better now. You can call me all kinds of names but you can't question my talent? I've used my acting skills and come up in life," he retorted.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Badlapur is all set to hit the screens today. The film also stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role.
