mid-day exclusive A day after mid-day published excerpts from Nawazuddin Siddiqui's tell-all biography, An Ordinary Life: A Memoir, about his affair with Niharika Singh, the 'Miss Lovely' actor is seeing red. Singh said that she is contemplating legal action against him for defaming her and spilling details about their relationship without her consent. "When that happens, I will let you know," she replied to this reporter on text message.

Claiming that the stories are fabricated, she said, "Nawaz and I had a brief relationship during the making of Miss Lovely that lasted less than a few months. So today when he paints me as a woman in fur enticing him into my bedroom with candles, I can only laugh. He obviously wants to sell his book."

However, a source close to Siddiqui claimed to be aghast at Singh playing the victim card considering she was in the loop all along. The source said, "To suggest that he had done it without her knowledge is incorrect on her part. He'd written the book when he was in New York about a year ago, and he had made it a point to inform her about it categorically."
The source added that Siddiqui was initially amused over Singh crying foul over his confessions. "He found her statement funny. But when a few media people landed up at his place for his comment, he realised that she'd stretched it too far." In the excerpt published by mid-day on October 23, Siddiqui revealed how his affair with Singh began. "For the very first time I went to Niharika's house... When she opened the door, revealing a glimpse of the house, I was speechless with amazement. A hundred, or so it seemed, little candles flickered beautifully. She wore soft faux fur, looking devastatingly gorgeous, her beauty illuminated even more in the candlelight.
And I, being the lusty village bumpkin that I am, scooped her up in my arms and headed straight for the bedroom. We made passionate love. And just like that, out of the blue, I began a relationship with Niharika Singh, a relationship which I did not know then would last for almost one and a half years..." Siddiqui also claimed that Singh would send mails to one of his lovers on his behalf.
Horrified that Siddiqui had gone public with his confessions, Singh issued a statement on Tuesday, saying, "He has chosen to fabricate stories and manipulate a fleeting relationship. None of what he has written has been with my knowledge, let alone my consent. It is this very aspect of Nawaz that caused me to end my relationship with him in the first place. I have always maintained that he's a brilliant actor. However, I had hoped these acting skills would have remained confined only to the screen. Still, I wish him well."
