Nawazuddin Siddiqui says nobody has made a film above Rs 25 crore budget with him, Irrfan, Manoj Bajpayee; opens up on being judged for his dark skin colour
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always broken stereotypes surrounding the quintessential Hindi cinema hero. He's seen his own share of struggle and carved his own niche. Today, he's considered one of the finest actors we have. In a recent interview, the actor has opened up on his struggles and how he still faces judgements becuase of his looks. When asked if he gets bothered for people judging him, he said during a chat with Nayandeep Rakshit, "Vo toh aaj tak jhelne padte hain. Thankfully, the industry doesn't think like that, but it still exists in the society. In my initial days, many people said, 'Aap actor dikhte nahi ho' (you don't look like an actor). That used to make me feel bad. Kya karein ab? Kaala hu toh yahan tak pahuch gaya, agar gora hota toh kya kardeta main (I am dark, still reached till here, imagine what all I could have done if I was fair). ' Nawazuddin also added that he does not have any fears about his career now about being rejected or the box office even. He said, "I don't have any fear. But yes, there are many actors who have been rejected, but keep coming back because of their film background and support system. Hum jaise log, main, Manoj Bajpayee or more actors like us, unko nahi hota yeh…box office, etc. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo What will you say to Manoj Bajpayee? Vo box office se upar uth chuka hai. He is not chasing it." However, he feels upset about the fact that nobody wants to make a film with actors like him. He added, "For example, Naseer sahab ( Naseeruddin Shah ), Om Puri , Manoj bhai, Irrfan, or other actors like us, humein lekar Rs 25 crore se upar kabhi kisi ne film banaayi hi nahi (Nobody ever made a film with budget over Rs 25 crore with actors like me, Naseer sir, Om Puri, Manoj and Irrfan). Secondly, people want to watch our films but the screens don't reach there. If you want to see our box office numbers, then atleast give us that distribution of screens as well. Only then you'll get to know how many people want to watch us. Today, we talk highly of Irrfan. Ofcourse, he was a great actor. But, no one cast him in a film with a Rs 20-25 crore budget." He further revealed, "This is the reason why it's said that there are two kinds of actors, ek public ka aur ek industry ka. Even if people don't want to watch the industry's actor, their films are released right in front of your house. But, the actor whose film public actually wants to see, their film is released in 200-300 screens, ek subah ka show aur ek raat ka. I get bothered."

Viral: Elephant ‘wards off nazar' from baby– netizens say, ‘this is pure maa ki mamta'
In the ever-growing world of viral videos, one genre continues to steal hearts– animal videos. But not just any animal doing cute tricks or silly things– it's the ones that show animals being so much like us that really get people emotional. Whether it's a dog cuddling like a human baby or a monkey offering water to another, these moments spark something special in all of us. One such video is currently making waves on social media. It shows a mother elephant gently circling her baby, who is lying down, using her trunk softly and protectively. At first, it looks like just a sweet moment of motherly care in the wild. But for many online, it means something much deeper. The video, shared by the Instagram page @gyanclasss, has gone viral– not just for the adorable elephant interaction, but because viewers saw something sacred in the elephant's actions. Many compared it to the Indian ritual of 'nazar utaarna' – a tradition where mothers or grandmothers move their hands (or use salt, chillies, etc.) in circular motions around a child to ward off the evil eye. Watch the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) While the elephant may not literally be performing this ritual, the emotion behind her action has resonated with viewers across cultures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ACE Nest Yamuna Expressway – Affordable Luxury Awaits Ace Noida Book Now Undo The post was shared with the caption: 'People got emotional after watching the video of a mother's love – Elephant ne apne baby ki nazar utaari, just like Indian moms do.' The comments under the video reflect just how deeply it has touched viewers, with many getting emotional over the bond between the mother elephant and her calf. One user wrote, 'Such a heart-touching video,' while another added, 'A mother is always a mother and a great god gift.' Several comments beautifully captured the emotion of the moment. One user simply said, 'Maa toh maa hoti hai,' which translates to 'A mother is a mother, after all.' Another wrote, 'Maa ki mamta ka koi mol nahi, ek maa apne bache ko kisi dukh mein nahi dekh sakti,' meaning 'A mother's love is priceless; she can't bear to see her child in pain.' Others brought in a bit of humour while still admiring the gesture. One comment read, 'Baby elephant: Dekh kya rahe ho? Maa to maa hoti hai, chalo jao ab nazar utarne do mumma ko,' which loosely translates to, 'Baby elephant: What are you looking at? A mother is a mother. Now let my mom remove the evil eye in peace.' Another added, 'Machhar uda rahi hai bhai yaar,' meaning 'She's shooing away mosquitoes, bro.' Similarly, one said, 'Arey woh makkhiyan hata rahi hai taaki baccha araam se soye,' which means 'She's getting rid of the flies so the baby can sleep peacefully. ' And summing up the moment with quiet amusement, one user simply commented, 'Okay... but mosquitoes.' While a few of the comments were on the lighter side, most reactions to the video have been emotional and heartfelt. It's the kind of moment that quietly reminds us of the deep connection between a mother and her child– a bond that goes beyond language, culture, or even species.
