Nawaz Is Obviously Exploiting Our Past to Sell His Book: Niharika

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s ‘Miss Lovely’ co-star Niharika Singh says he’s lying about their relationship in his memoir.

Excerpts from Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s forthcoming memoirs, An Ordinary Life, have  been quite eye-opening. He had once confessed to me that he had never kissed a girl before he did a kissing sequence with model-actress Niharika Singh, in Miss Lovely (2014). But as it turns out, the actor now opens up about having a roaring affair with her.

In an explosive excerpt from his memoir, Nawaz and his co-author Rituparna Chatterjee have penned,

“For the very first time I went to Niharika’s house... I rang the doorbell, slightly nervous. When she opened the door, revealing a glimpse of the house, I was speechless with amazement. A hundred, or so it seemed, little candles flickered beautifully. She wore soft faux fur, looking devastatingly gorgeous, her beauty illuminated even more in the candlelight. And I, being the lusty village bumpkin that I am, scooped her up in my arms and headed straight for the bedroom. We made passionate love. And just like that, out of the blue, I began a relationship with Niharika Singh, a relationship which I did not know then would last for almost one and a half years.”

But Neharika is horrified at the relationship being publicly exhibited.

Nawaz and I had a brief relationship in 2009 during the making of <i>Miss Lovely,</i> that lasted less than a few months. So today when he paints me as a woman in fur enticing him into her bedroom with candles, or desperately calling him and mailing other women on his behalf, I can only laugh.

Niharika Singh, Actor

Niharika feels that this is cheap publicity for Nawaz’s memoir. The actor accuses Nawaz of lying.

He obviously wants to sell his book and it would appear that he is willing to exploit and disrespect a woman just to do so. He has chosen to fabricate stories and manipulate a fleeting relationship.

Ethics be damned, Niharika’s consent was not taken before her life was put into the  book.

None of what he has written has been with my knowledge, let alone my consent. It is this very aspect of Nawaz that caused me to end my relationship with him in the first place. I have always maintained that he’s a brilliant actor. However, I had hoped that these acting skills would be confined only to the screen. Still, I wish him well.
