Nawazuddin Siddiqui responds to haters for romancing 28 years younger Avneet Kaur

This is supposed to be Avneet Kaur’s breakthrough in the Bollywood industry and she is very much looking forward to it. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was taken aback by the bombarding criticism and he finally decided to speak up regarding this.

In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said,

“Why will there be a problem? Romance is ageless. 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”
