Bollywood actor Nawazudddin Siddiqui hit the headlines yesterday when he revealed details about his affair with his Miss Lovely co-star Niharika Singh in his autobiography titled An Ordinary Life: A Memoir. And now, as expected, Niharka has also hit back on the comment made by Nawaz in his book saying that he is just using her as a publicity gimmick.
In a statement given to Bollywoodlife Niharika has opened up her side of the story and said, “Nawaz and I had a brief relationship during the making of Miss Lovely that lasted less than a few months in 2009. So today when he paints me as a woman in fur enticing him into her bedroom with candles, or desperately calling him and mailing other women on his behalf, I can only laugh. He obviously wants to sell his book and it would appear that he is willing to exploit and disrespect a woman just to do so. He has chosen to fabricate stories and manipulate a fleeting relationship. None of what he has written has been to my knowledge, let alone my consent. It is this very aspect of Nawaz that caused me to end my relationship with him in the first place. I have always maintained that he’s a brilliant actor. However, I had hoped these acting skills would have remained confined only to the screen. Still, I wish him well. This is all I have to say.”
Well, we wonder what Nawaz has to say on this!
