Annu Kapoor Recalls Awkward On-Stage Interview With Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Criticizes 'Cheap' Comment

Kapoor shared the years-old Goa encounter on a new podcast, with no response from Siddiqui reported.

Overview

  • He says a Goa club invited him years ago to conduct an on-stage interview with Siddiqui, which he found disappointing and uncomfortable.
  • Kapoor recounts that Siddiqui spoke little, leading to a one-sided exchange that organisers later complained left Kapoor doing all the talking.
  • Asked about his relationships, Siddiqui replied, “Bahut si aayin aur chali gayin,” which Kapoor condemned as a “sasta” remark and evidence of frivolity.
  • Kapoor adds that he was initially impressed by Siddiqui’s Master’s degree in Chemistry but that his respect faded during the interaction.
  • The account was given on a podcast with journalist Shubhankar Mishra, and coverage also notes Kapoor’s Jolly LLB 3 release on September 19 and Siddiqui’s Thamma set for October 21.
