Versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the most recent name being taken in the MeToo allegation row. The actor's ex-girlfriend and former Miss India Niharika Singh expressed her ordeal of sexual harassement she went through while being in a relationship with Siddiqui in a series of tweets shared by journalist Sandhya Mennon on Twitter.
Siddiqui's co-actor Kubra Sait has backed the actor stating on Twitter, “A relationship gone sour, isn’t #MeToo someone needs to recognise the toxic difference before we go picking sides. I stand by #NawazuddinSiddiqui or #Nowaz as a man,”

Kubra further said she stood by the fact that Niharika Singh “may have had a tough time in the industry”. “I stand by the fact that although Niharika Singh may have had a tough time in the industry, categorising her once personal relationship as a #MeToo statement is incorrectly placed. We as humans are flawed. That isn’t gender specific,” she wrote in a subsection tweet.
