Nawazuddin Siddiqui's B-Town ride may finally be smooth sailing after years. However the actor's red carpet appearances seem far from it

The Kahaani and Gangs of Wasseypur star collided with Dia Mirza on the red carpet of a magazine awards event recently.

Says an onlooker, `Dia arrived first on the red carpet. After posing for snapshots and giving news bytes, she moved away only to have Nawaz do a collision course. He walked straight into her! Perhaps there was something on his mind or he was so distracted that he did not see Dia.`

Adds the onlooker, `Nawaz was obviously taken aback by his oops moment and extended a hand to the actress.

And it was probably the longest handshake in B-Town! Nawaz did not let go off her hand right through their conversation.` Nawaz who bagged the Breakthrough Talent of the Year award at the event seemed to have done his own breakthrough on the red carpet!
