I am bad at auditioning: Arshad Warsi

Dedh Ishqiya actor Arshad Warsi, who, after denying ever having auditioned in his life, responded to Mira Nair’s tweet, conceding that he did do it.

A couple of days ago, actor Arshad Warsi made news when he reportedly stated that he refused to do a film with Mira Nair because he was asked to audition for the part.

"I’ve never given an audition for a role in my career so far. I don’t know how to do it. If somebody asks me to give an audition, I get completely flustered," Arshad was quoted by PTI.

The report went on to quote the actor further: "Like Mira Nair, I love her, she is a lovely person, she called me twice and told me to audition. (But) I told her I can’t give it… she had first called me for (her film) Shantaram and for one more film. It was a Bengali detective film."

But on Tuesday (January 7) night, a tweet by Nair put Arshad in a spot. In response to a fan’s tweet, who had attached a link to Arshad’s interview in which he had denied auditioning, Nair wrote, "He (Arshad) did audition, and beautifully. One of the nicest men I’ve met. (sic)".
