Why are we exactly holding an actor to this moral responsibility ? He is good at his craft and have built a niche for himself . He should be given the space to protect his investments maybe even his personality traits that have been either a direct or an awkward benefactor of the very slithery underworld that the “me too“ fights against. Instead we need to look more closely at the well oiled all powerful nepotistic machinery that once in a while would lets the Nawazuddins have their days in the sun at a price. To really understand the Nawazuddins of the system one need to get an appraisal of that price. He is an excellent actor and lets just hold him accountable to that.

ThePrint is helping bring the WOKE movement to India, one journalist at a time. How trivial of a topic to cover, what Nawazuddin said to some second grade medium, but you reported as if it was some moon landing. Dude, were you a fan of his acting, his anecdotes, his struggle or his wokeness?
Suddenly Nawaz’s opinion are not coherent to you, and you decide “I am not a fan now!”
What are you 4?
Who cares if you’re a fan or not? But thank god, you have a platform, you think letting people know of your elaborate opinion might help them choose which star to support. You see the downfall of NYT in US? Atleast it had it’s good times… trust me with articles like these, thePrint will be the equivalent of the worst of NYT.
Go sob and please stop digging for stuff to push your feminist 1st world narrative contrary to any Indian cultural or nationalistic values, but trust me such articles might land you your dream job in SchoopWhoop in London, but your cognitive valuation would only keep on decreasing.
Though I am an admirer of his work, I have no respect for him as a person. Too callous for him to say such nasty things that he has said in the past. I have seen his video interview where he says that there is no such thing as casting couch. Maybe he has never gone through such experience but SHOULD have been empathetic towards those who have. As someone already said in the comments section that if he is gifted with amazing acting talents doesnt me he is gifted with eqally good sensibilities.
An actor is just that someone who acts. A cricketer is just that – someone who hits a ball with a bat. When will you realize that these are not enlightened social conscious people with great things to say? You are a fool to expect that – like going to a lawyer for medical treatment or a doctor for legal advice. Please think.
Why am I not surprised? All one has to do is listen to his interviews, they are all over YouTube. I would not blame him entirely though, he is a product of his environment. People with privilege do not get a sensitive, educative environment when growing up. Life has been though for him. One needs good mentors at the right juncture in life. Some are lucky to have them, some aren’t. It is an even bigger challenge, to grow/learn to be empathetic to people once you are successful.
Lady, I understand why you may be upset.
But he’s an actor. He’s paid money to pretend to be something he isn’t. It may just be a better idea to not have such lofty expectations from this entire tribe.
They should only be seen for what they are – people with exceptional mirroring ability (like politicians) and not as pillars of society, as we’ve found out in the Covid world.

He cannot speak against the industry and still thrive in it. He is saving his own career and future by not criticizing the industry. Simple !

It is a grave error to believe ,that individuals talented in one area, will be blessed with equally good sensibilities.

He is overrated as an actor. As for his human side,it takes all kinds to make this world.
he said what he feels there’s no problem in that maybe he never face casting couch he is telling his experience.
