Nawazuddin Siddiqui, widely regarded as one of today's top actors in the industry, with notable performances in films such as "The Lunchbox", "Gangs of Wasseypur", "Kahaani", and the series "Sacred Games", has also faced significant prejudice due to his appearance. 

In a recent interview with News18, he expressed that he believes himself to be the "ugliest actor – physically – in the film industry" and explained his reasoning.

In the interview, Nawaz expressed, "I don't understand why some people dislike our appearance. Perhaps it's because we are genuinely unattractive. Even I feel this way when I look at myself in the mirror. I wonder why I entered the film industry with such poor looks."
