Nawazuddin Siddiqui was nominated for an International Emmy Award but couldn’t score a win. One of his recent Instagram posts appear to be a response to that.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was nominated at the International Emmy Awards, poured his heart out in a poem. The actor, who was nominated in the Best Actor category, didn’t score the award. The poem, shared in a recent Instagram post, appears to be his response to the loss. The award ceremony was held last week. 

Nawazuddin Siddiqui attended the International Emmy Awards in person.

“Phoolein mein phool, phool hai gulaab, New York toh chale gaye, bann na paye nawab. Koshish jaari rahegi, adaab,” Nawazuddin Siddiqui wrote in Hindi, an excerpt from which translates to: “Went to New York but couldn’t be the nawab. Will keep trying.” In an another post, Nawazuddin added: “The sun rises in the east and sets in the west... Do whatever you want to, but be the best.”

He was nominated in the Best Actor category for Netflix film Serious Men. Nawazuddin lost to David Tennant for his performance in the drama series Des.

Speaking to Hindustan Times earlier this month, Nawazuddin shared his views on content releasing on OTT platforms and the competition between digital productions and big screen cinemas: “There already was a lot of audience on OTT for some years now. Even when the cinemas were functioning properly, people were moving to watching OTT content. The fact of the matter is that achhi cheez jaha ayegi, log usko dekhenge (people will navigate towards a medium which has good content).”
