Nawazuddin Siddiqui‘s unwavering dedication and immense passion for his craft have played a pivotal role in his current success. His recent film, ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’, for which he unveiled the trailer, explores the journey of a junior artiste, a role that resonates with his own past experiences.
Reflecting on his time as a junior artiste, Nawazuddin fondly recollected an amusing incident while having his make-up done.He recalled, “Right now, while getting my make-up done, I was thinking about this one time when I was working as a junior artiste in a film along with other junior actors. A make-up man who was supposed to do our make-up for the scene made us all stand in a queue and blew (talcum) powder on our faces and said ‘make-up’ is done.”
Furthermore, he shared an intriguing anecdote from his transition from a junior actor to a lead role in the film ‘Miss Lovely’. He said, “I had done several roles as a junior actor, as an extra on set. After some years I got to do a film as a lead actor, Miss Lovely. A lot of my old friends were working on that film. They didn’t know I was doing the main lead in that film and asked me, ‘Arre, tu yahaan kya kar raha hai?’ So I told them that I am the lead in the film and not to tell anyone that I have worked with you guys (laughs).”
Nawaz revealed that he’s experienced many such incidents throughout his career.
