To be or not to be

Everyone has been raving about Namik Paul aka Shiv’s spirit look in Ek Deewaana Tha. A frozen face with a pinch of snow and ice with hard to ignore deep black eyes complete the spooky avatar. But one person who has been getting sleepless nights with all these talks of Namik’s scary yet subtle spirit looks is his mother. 

While she is quite happy about everyone appreciating Namik’s work and proud of her son’s achievement but at the same time she is getting equally worried about his on-screen spirit persona may scare all the women away and eventually reduce the chances of finding a suitable bride for her son.

When contacted Namik said, “My mother is my biggest supporter as well as my biggest critic. She was, no doubt apprehensive of me portraying a spirit character initially but eventually came around. But now she feels that women may stay at arm’s length from me given my spooky on-screen avatar and she may have a tough time finding the right girl for me.”
