‘Tiku Weds Sheru’: Nawazuddin Siddiqui addresses criticism for kiss with Avneet Kaur; here’s what he said

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is busy promoting his forthcoming film ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’, recently faced criticism from a section of netizens for his kiss with co-star Avneet Kaur.

Many were uncomfortable with the 28-year age gap between the two actors.

Now, Nawazuddin has addressed the criticism and said that ‘romance is ageless’.

Speaking with India Today, Nawazuddin said, ‘The problem is that the young men have no romance left. We are from the times when romance was something else. We would be in love and be in 'ishq' for years. Today, Shah Rukh Khan continues to do romantic roles because the young generation is ‘nalli’ (useless). They don't know romance.’

Nawazuddin even asked if not him and his peers, who could possibly do romantic roles.

‘Everything today happens on Whatsapp, be it love, breakup. There is a reason behind this.

People who have lived in romance can do romance. Who else will do it,’ he asked.

‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ is a romantic drama produced by Kangana Ranaut, under the banner of Manikarnika Films.

It is written and directed by Sai Kabir.

‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ will release on OTT platform Prime Video on June 23.
