Nawazuddin Siddiqui received an International Emmy Award nomination but did not win. One of his recent Instagram photos appears to be retaliation.

The actor poured his heart out. Nawazuddin who was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor did not win. The poem, which he uploaded on Instagram recently, appears to be his reaction to the loss. Last week, the award ceremony took place.

“Phoolein mein phool, phool hai gulaab, New York toh chale gaye, bann na paye nawab. Koshish jaari rahegi, adaab,” Nawazuddin Siddiqui wrote in Hindi, an excerpt from which translates to: “Went to New York but couldn’t be the nawab. Will keep trying.” In an another post, Nawazuddin added: “The sun rises in the east and sets in the west… Do whatever you want to, but be the best.”

Nawazuddin, who was present at the award ceremony in New York’s Casa Cipriani’s Great Hall, wrote the note.

Serious Men, a Netflix film, earned him a nomination for Best Actor. For his role in the drama series Des, Nawazuddin lost against David Tennant.
