Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actress Bidita bag supports Nawaz's remarks on racism

Actress Bidita Bag, who will be seen opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in "Babumoshai Bandookbaaz", has supported the Siddiqui's latest remarks on racism in movies and beyond.

Bidita said the only color or skin an artist needs is"camouflage". "I feel, the only skin we need, as artists, is camouflage. Those who are colour-blind will never see what abilities Nawaz has as an actor and a person. "Nawazuddin has never been the one to play it (a character) black or white. He has even taught me to be a chameleon and get into the skin of the character, as per director's vision," she said. Casting director of the film Sanjay Chouhan has reportedly said that it would be weird to cast fair-looking people opposite the actor.This bias was criticized by Nawazuddin.

"Thank you for making me realize that I cannot be paired along with the fair and handsome because I'm dark and not good looking, but I never focus on that," the actor had tweeted. Bidita added, "It is good that I'm not paired opposite fair and handsome people. I'm paired opposite someone who has fair and lovely thinking and I value that. It's my honor and privilege that I got to watch him perform.

"He is one of the best actors that I have ever worked with. I will always cherish his ability to get into the skin of the character and become that person for the entire duration of the shoot."
