Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur's starrer 'Tiku Weds Sheru' is receiving backlash ever since its trailer release. A section of cinema buffs is irked by the kissing scene between the pair with almost 25 years of age difference. The actor has now opened up about the backlash on social media and called the young generation useless.
In an interview with India Today, the Sacred Games actor said, "Romance is ageless. The problem is that the young men have no romance left. We are from the times when romance was something else. We would be in love and be in 'ishq' for years. Today, Shah Rukh Khan continues to do romantic roles because the young generation is ‘nalli’. They don't know romance.”
He further said the young generation has not lived in romance and they love and break up on WhatsApp. “Everything today happens on WhatsApp, be it love, or breakup. There is a reason behind this. People who have lived in romance can do romance. Who else will do it?”, Siddiqui said.
