According to reports of Indian Express, Nawaz told "I can only say I am an actor and I will do all sort of roles. Many liberals have questioned me for taking up this role. I won’t explain it to them because they are intelligent people but what do I explain to those who are not smart enough?

The actor further added that few of my friends questioned me and my only answer to them was that I am an actor and since 30 years, I am only thinking, reading, breathing and living acting. I have never done anything beyond that."

Talking on playing different kind of charcters, Scared Games actor added, "So, no matter what character comes my way, I will do it. If you are judging me for the characters I play then I have also portrayed Ganesh Gaitonde, who was way more weird as a character. I played some cheap roles earlier. Today, I might be playing a saint and tomorrow a gangster. I want to play every sort of character.
