Hailing from a small town in UP (Budhana), Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s journey in Bollywood has been phenomenal.
Known for Gangs of Wasseypur and Sacred Games, he is one of the most sought-after actors in India. But did you know he came from rather humble beginnings?
The ‘Serious Men’ actor had studied the craft at The National School of Drama (NSD) in New Delhi. But prior to his acting stint, he used to work as a SECURITY GUARD!
While talking to Hindustan Times, the talented actor had revealed, “Noida was where I got my first job as a security guard posted outside a toy factory. I had come from Muzaffarnagar before 1993.”
And apparently, he sucked at his first job – “The owner of the toy factory on multiple occasions had caught me dozing off or relaxing outside the factory gate and reprimanded me for it. Soon, I left the job,” said Siddiqui.
And the rest as they say, is history.
Nawaz had also commented, “There is no dearth of opportunity if one has the talent and dedication. There will be scores of opportunity waiting for you if you have the ability to grasp it.”
He was last seen in the critically acclaimed Netflix film ‘Serious Men’. His next project is the rom-com ‘Jogira Sa Ra Ra’, opposite Neha Sharma. He also has ‘Bole Chudiyan’ with Tamannaah Bhatia.
