Nawazuddin Siddiqui is never intimidated by stars power
"If you feel the pressure of any star, that means you are not doing justice with your character or you are not involved in your character. If you are getting conscious of the stardom of a star, then he is right in his place, but you are not," the 39-year-old said here Wednesday at a film club function at the University of Mumbai.
For an actor, it should only be another character in front of him and not a star.
"If you are in your character, then you will see the other person also as a particular character. Like in 'Talaash', if I was in my role of Temur, then it was not Aamir Khan standing in front of me, but a police officer," he said.
Nawazuddin was last seen in the acclaimed "The Lunchbox" and "Miss Lovely" and will soon be seen in "Mountain Man", "Ghoomketu" and "Kick".

Vidya, Dia slams Mulayam's 'rape' comment
Mumbai: Actors Vidya Balan and Dia Mirza have reacted strongly to Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's remark that the death penalty in rape cases is "unfair" as "young boys make such mistakes".
National Award-winning actress Vidya has said that rape should never be pardoned.
"Capital punishment is a very contentious issue but it is the worst of crimes that should not be pardoned. I completely disagree with anyone who says that 'boys will be boys, they will make mistakes'," Vidya said here Thursday at a fundraiser event by NGO Swades.
"Now this is sure that I will not give my vote to him (Yadav)," she added.
Mulayam Singh Yadav made the remark at a Lok Sabha election rally in Moradabad Thursday. He also said that if his party leads the government at the centre, he would change the law.
Actress-producer Dia Mirza finds the statement by the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister "appalling" and "saddening".
"When I hear comments like this, I don't know how to react as a woman, how to react as a human being. I think it is appalling and saddening that there are such people in our society, who have such small, such irrevocable thoughts," Dia said here.
"This statement reflects not just their lack of character, insenstivity but also lack of humanness. It is very sad," she added.

Her over all look was a sure die for!
The gorgeous babe, Shilpa Shetty wore a Rajat Tangri teal gown and while she looked nice, we just felt that she could have avoided those bustier styled cups.
Shilpa has got such a great frame that she can carry almost evrything with much grace and therefore despite a bad pick of ensemble, she managed to look nice.
