- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,February 23 2022]
Gifted actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is often in news regarding his incredible and nuanced performances in films and web shows but few weeks back, he made headlines regarding his new lavish bunglow in Mumbai. During a recent chat with Hindustan Times, Nawaz talked about his new abode and shared how he came a long way to be able to build such a property.
During his struggling days, Nawaz used to share living space with other aspiring actors. Recalling thoses times, the actor said, Aaj jitna bada mera personal bathroom hai, utnasa mera ghar hua karta tha When I moved to Mumbai, I stayed in such a small place, which I shared with four other budding actors. Woh kamra itna chhota tha ki agar main door kholu toh kisi ke pairon mein lag jata tha because, we all used to lay our beds on the floor when we slept there. Dheere dheere, I started sharing my room with three people, then with two, and it is only from 2005 that I started living alone.”
Sharing why he named the bunglow Nawab, after his father, Nawaz said, Unka mann Mumbai ke ghar mein nahi lagta tha (He didn't like the flats of Mumbai). So, I always had this thing in my mind that I would get him to a bigger place in Mumbai one day, but he passed away before that. I wish my dad could see this bungalow.”
On the work front, Nawaz will soon be seen in films like 'Sangeen', 'Jogira Sara Ra Ra', 'Heropanti 2' and few others.
