Nawazuddin Siddiqui lashes out at celebrities posting vacation pictures

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has lashed out at celebrities posting holiday pictures during the coronavirus crisis India is facing currently.

He was cited in SpotBoye saying, “These entertainment celebrities posting vacation pictures at a time when the world is reeling under the worst recession. …Logon ke pass khana nahin hai aur aap paise phenk rahe ho . Kuch toh sharm karo.” Perhaps going on holidays is not so wrong as showing off about it?

He added, “But what else will they talk about? Acting? They will run out of steam in two minutes. In logon ne, Maldives ko tamasaha bana rakha hai. I don’t know what their arrangement is with the tourism industry. But for the sake of humanity, please keep these vacations to yourself. There is suffering everywhere. The cases of COVID are multiplying. Have a heart. Please don’t taunt those who are suffering.”

He said, “As a community, we entertainers in India need to grow up.” Asked if he would be travelling to Maldives, he said, “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”
