Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the finest actor in Bollywood, glazes the screen with his fierce performances and throbbing intensity. The actor, who has been part of Bollywood films such as Gangs of Wasseypur (2012), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Badlapur (2015) feels that theatre artists should be respected just as much as filmstars.
He was once quoted saying by Hindustan Times, “Things are the other way round internationally. In the West, Hollywood actors dream of being a part of Broadway. I am sure this attitude will come to India as well and I hope it does soon… When a Broadway artist performs in the West, everyone applauds him or her (they get attention) even if someone like (Hollywood star) Daniel Day-Lewis is present there.”
Nawaz graduated with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar.He worked as a chemist in Vadodara for a year before leaving for Delhi to search for a new job. He discovered his passion for acting after watching a play and acted in over ten plays with friends to secure admission to the National School of Drama in New Delhi, fulfilling one of the admission criteria.
After going to Mumbai, he did some very insignificant roles till he finally got his big break in “Black Friday”, directed by Anurag Kashyap in 2007. Since then, he has entertained his fans with his amazing performances.
