Nawazuddin Siddiqui has refuted the allegations made by his sister-in-law that the actor beat her for dowry, saying she has done it for the publicity.
The 42-year-old star, who has come under the scrutiny for reportedly harassing his younger brother's wife, Afrin, on September 28, claimed she has deliberately charged him with the allegations because he appeared to be a soft target to her.
"I'm falsely charged by my sister-in-law because I'm a soft target for her and she could have easily made the news out of me. I'm an actor so, that could also be a reason for her allegations,” said Nawazuddin.
"Had it happened with a common man, it would not have made the headlines on television and newspapers," he said.
