Nawazuddin Siddiqui memoir: Niharika Singh to take legal action agains

Nawazuddin Siddiqui in his book 'An
Ordinary Life: A Memoir' mentioned about
his affair with his Miss Lovely co-star
Niharika Singh. Well, looks like the actress is
not pleased that he revealed the intimate
details of their affair without her consent,
hence, she is planning to take legal action
against Nawaz.
As reported by a leading daily, Niharika has
filed a complaint against the Raman Raghav
actor at the National Commission for Women
(NCW) in Delhi. She accused Nawaz of
outraging her modesty and informed that
when she had an affair with him, she was
unaware of his marriage. The actress is
allegedly going to register an FIR under
sections 376 (rape), 497 (adultery) and 509
(insulting the modesty of a woman) of IPC
under NCW's direction.
In his book, Siddiqui mentioned, "One day,
while we were shooting a dance scene,
something happened to my co-star Niharika
Singh... She was suddenly cold, went out of
her way to maintain a distance from me and
began to keep mum. I was puzzled... She
used to be friendly, social and talk quite a
bit. I thought it was best to ask her what
had happened and so I did, not once, not
twice, but several times, for several days... I
invited her over for a home-cooked meal, a
mutton dish which was my speciality. She
politely agreed and came over... Not only did
she eat everything that was on her plate, but
she praised it as well.
He further mentioned that he was invited by
Singh to have mutton at her place. When he
visited her house, he was astonished to see
how she has decorated her house.
The Raman Raghav 2.0 actor mentioned, "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..."
When Niharika was questioned about the
affair, she said that he chose to fabricate
stories. The actress told a leading daily,
"Nawaz and I had a brief relationship during
the making of Miss Lovely 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 emailing other women on his
behalf, I can only laugh. 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. 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 these acting skills would have
remained confined only to the screen. Still, I
wish him well."
