Nawaz apologises for hurting sentiments, withdraws memoir

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui today issued an apology for “hurting the sentiments” of women whose names he had mentioned in his memoir, “An Ordinary Life” allegedly without their consent and has decided to withdraw the book.

The 43-year-old actor took to Twitter in the wake of the controversy surrounding his autobiography, co-written by Rituparna Chatterjee, in which he detailed his relationships and flings with former Miss India Niharika Singh and actor Sunita Rajwar.

“I’m apologising to everyone whose sentiments are hurt because of the chaos around my memoir ‘An Ordinary Life’. I hereby regret and decide to withdraw my book,” he tweeted. The critically-acclaimed actor drew a lot of flak for revealing personal details about his “passionate” affair with his “Miss Lovely” co-star Niharika.
