Nawaz slams celebs for posting vacation pics

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a talented Bollywood star, has slammed all celebrities who are vacationing in the Maldives and sharing pictures on social media. During the COVID-19 crisis in the world, the actor blasted such high and mighty celebs for having no shame in sharing pictures from their exotic vacations.

When asked about stars posting vacation pictures during an interview, he 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 and you are wasting money, have some shame).”

He also added, “The celebs are posting about their vacation because they have nothing worthwhile to talk about. 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. 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,”

When asked whether he would go on a vacay to the Maldives, Nawaz said, “No way. I am in my home town Budhana with my family. That’s my Maldives.”
