Actor Niharika Singh said that Nawazuddin Siddiqui published details of their relationship in his biography without her consent. The actor had a brief relationship with Siddiqui while working on Miss Lovely.
“None of what he has written has been with my knowledge, let alone my consent. It is this very aspect of Nawaz that caused me to end my relationship with him in the first place. I have always maintained that he’s a brilliant actor. However, I had hoped these acting skills would have remained confined only to the screen. Still, I wish him well,” the actor said in a statement.
Siddiqui claimed that Niharika emailed his ex-girlfriend while pretending to be him and also describes an intimate encounter with Singh in the book.

“Nawaz and I had a brief relationship in 2009 during the making of Miss Lovely that lasted less than a few months. So today, when he paints me as a woman in fur enticing him into her bedroom with candles, or desperately calling him and mailing other women on his behalf, I can only laugh. He obviously wants to sell his book and it would appear that he is willing to exploit and disrespect a woman just to do so,” she added.
