Before achieving fame, Nawazuddin Siddiqui endured a decade of profound struggle in Mumbai. He confessed to feeling 'unlucky' for almost ten years, as opportunities consistently slipped away just as they seemed within reach.
Siddiqui described a painful period where he would celebrate landing a film role, only to be fired before shooting dates arrived, sometimes without notice. These experiences led him to cry in public, hiding his emotions.
His financial hardship was severe, with the actor admitting he survived on Parle-G biscuits for all his meals. Even today, the taste of these biscuits brings back painful memories of his past.
Despite these challenges, Siddiqui persisted, eventually breaking through with 'Black Friday' and gaining widespread recognition with 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. He has since starred in numerous successful films and acclaimed series.
