Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s ‘I’m not an actor’ to premiere at Cinequest 2025
'I'm Not an Actor' follows a banker who embarks on a journey to learn acting. Directed by Aditya Kripalani, the film was shot live between India and Germany.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the most recent celebrity to face the Me Too storm after his former girlfriend and actress Niharika Singh mentioned him in her story of alleged harassment. On 9 November, the former Miss India winner made her story public through a series of tweets shared by journalist Sandhya Menon.
Now, Siddiqui’s Sacred Games co-actor Kubra Sait has backed her colleague. On 10 November, the 35-year-old actress took to Twitter to point out that “relationship gone sour, isn’t #MeToo.”

“A relationship gone sour, isn’t #MeToo someone needs to recognise the toxic difference before we go picking sides. I stand by #NawazuddinSiddiqui or #Nowaz as a man,” her tweet read.

Kubra further said she stood by the fact that Niharika Singh “may have had a tough time in the industry”. “I stand by the fact that although Niharika Singh may have had a tough time in the industry, categorising her once personal relationship as a #MeToostatement is incorrectly placed. We as humans are flawed. That isn’t gender specific,” she wrote in a subsection tweet.

From her modelling days to “harrowing experiences” with some men in the entertainment industry, Niharika Singh bared it all in her #MeToo story.
Referring to popular actor Nawauddin Siddiqui as a “sexually repressed Indian man”, the Miss Lovely actress narrated her experience with the actor and their relationship.
