We recently reported that Nawazuddin Siddiqui had taken to Twitter to apologize for his book as also withdrew his memoir and all this in just a few weeks after the release of his book. The negative remarks made by people compelled the actor to withdraw his book. A source close to the actor even revealed that it was no easy task for the actor to do so.

The source said, “It wasn’t an easy decision. The past few days have not been easy on Nawaz. He has been deeply troubled by the effect the words in his biography had on two of his female friends. The truth is, his command over the English language is inadequate, so perhaps the memoir should have been written in Hindi. The excerpts where he went into alleged details of his relationships with two female friends came across as tasteless and should never have gone into the book. But Nawaz depended, to a large extent, on his co-author Rituparna Chatterjee in putting across his thoughts. Now he feels he should have curbed his flights of fancy".

The source even revealed that Nawazuddin's wife Anjali was a big force in withdrawing the memoir. He added, "He never realized that his words would be taken so badly. It was Anjali who reminded him that correcting the damage was not impossible. She suggested he apologize and withdraw the book. And he did". The source also revealed that the actor was extremely disappointed with the reactions he received. "He knew his honesty would hurt some people, but he never anticipated the vehemence with which they reacted", the source revealed.
