Bharti Singh’s witty question to Nawazuddin Siddiqui on kissing scene in movies
During a lively podcast, Bharti humorously asked Nawazuddin Siddiqui about his thoughts on performing kissing scenes in films. She asked whether he feels shy or reluctant when directors include such scenes in scripts.
Nawazuddin, known for his versatility, explained that if a film's narrative demands a kissing scene, he is always ready to perform it. Bharti then asked if his rural upbringing made him nervous about these scenes.
Nawazuddin clarified that he doesn’t feel nervous, emphasizing the difference between real life and reel life. He addressed the backlash over his kiss with Avneet Kaur in Tiku Weds Sheru, stating that it's the characters, not the actors, who kiss.

‘You have made me into the image of a serious actor,’ says Nawazuddin Siddiqui to Bharti and Harsh
Towards the end of the podcast, Bharti Singh humorously remarked that serious actors in the film industry often charge hefty amounts of money for their roles. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his intense portrayals, responded with a smile, denying the notion. He pointed out that the perception created by others has cast him as a serious actor.
Bharti, always quick with a witty follow-up, asked if Siddiqui was actually playful and humorous. With a twinkle in his eye, Siddiqui replied, “Are madam, hum kabhi baithenge tab batayenge aapko,” implying that if they ever sat down together, Bharti and Harsh would discover his fun-loving side.
The light-hearted conversation brought back memories of when the couple met Siddiqui on Kapil Sharma’s show. Bharti reminisced about how Kapil had later told her that Nawazuddin, despite his serious on-screen persona, was incredibly funny and outgoing in real life.
This revelation added a delightful layer to the podcast, showcasing Nawazuddin’s lesser-known playful side and deepening the camaraderie among the hosts and their guests.
