Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
recently
called
out
celebrities
for
posting
pictures
of
themselves
vacationing
at
various
exotic
locations
including
Maldives
as
the
country
reels
from
the
second
wave
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
While
speaking
with
Spotboye,
the
Sacred
Games
actor
lashed
out
at
celebrities
for
being
tone-deaf
sharing
their
vacation
pictures
amid
the
pandemic
and
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
(People
don't
have
food
to
eat
and
here,
they
are
throwing
money.
They
should
be
ashamed)."
Nawazuddin
further
requested
these
celebrities
to
have
a
heart
and
stop
taunting
those
who
are
suffering.
"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
(These
people
have
made
Maldives
a
joke).
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,"
Nawazuddin
told
the
entertainment
portal.
The
actor
said
that
he
feels
the
lack
of
empathy
comes
from
an
inability
to
talk
about
serious
matters
and
added,
"As
a
community,
we
entertainers
in
India
need
to
grow
up."
On
being
asked
if
he
has
any
plans
of
holidaying
in
Maldives,
the
actor
replied,
"No
way.
I
am
in
my
home
town
Budhana
with
my
family.
That's
my
Maldives."
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui's
upcoming
projects
include
Bole
Chudiyan
and
Jogira
Sara
Ra
Ra.
On
a
related
note,
celebrity
couples
Ranbir
Kapoor-Alia
Bhatt
and
Tiger
Shroff-Disha
Patani
recently
got
trolled
on
social
media
for
rushing
to
Maldives
for
a
vacation
amid
the
COVID-19
crisis.
