Bollywood actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui while speaking to a publication shared his thoughts about celebrities vacationing in Maldives amid India’s Covid-19 crisis.
The Raat Akeli Hai star said, “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.”
Siddiqui 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 further added, “As a community we entertainers in India need to grow up.” So no plans of a holiday in Maldives? “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”
