Actor Niharika Singh has slammed Nawazuddin Siddiqui for writing about their alleged affair in his new book. Singh said,
“Nawaz and I had a brief relationship in 2009 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 mailing 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.”
Nawaz has written that his affair with Niharika lasted for almost “one and a half years” and she sent emails on his behalf to his former girlfriend.
Niharika denied sending any such mails and said the Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actor “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,” Niharika added.
