He said, “Pata nahi shakalo se humari nafrat kyun hai kuch logon ko. Kyunki shakal hi aisi hai – itne badsurat hai humlog. Humein bhi lagta hai jab apne aap ko aaine mein dekhte hai. Hum bhi bolte hai apne aap ko ‘kyun aa gaye film industry mein itne gande shakal leke?’ (I don’t know why some people hate the way I look. Maybe it’s because I’m just that ugly. Even I feel it when I look at myself in the mirror. I question why I came into the film industry with such bad looks).”
He further said, “I’m the ugliest actor – physically – in the film industry. Main toh yeh maanta hoon. Kyun ki main shuru se yeh sab sunte aa raha hoon aur abhi maanne bhi laga hoon (I have been hearing it for so long that I’ve started to believe it. I have no complaints about the film industry).”
However, Nawazuddin Siddqui also expressed his gratitude towards the opportunities that he received for playing different characters in his career, despite the discrimination.
