Nawazuddin Siddiqui on her daughter Shora doing acting classes: ‘Born actor jaisa kuch nahin hota, training zaruri hoti hai’ Filmymeet

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s daughter Shora has advanced in her acting career by performing in the musical Beauty and the Beast at London’s West End Stage – Theatre Summer School. After the play, the proud father posted a picture of her on Instagram. The actor revealed that the young acting aspirant was “beyond excited” to be in London last month, when she was setting off on her own acting career.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Nawazuddin shared that he feels fulfilled, having completed his own acting study at Delhi’s National School of Drama and he feels proud his daughter is receiving the opportunity to pursue her training abroad. He shared, “I feel proud of it. Every workshop and training institute can teach you things that you might not have known about. If she is learning from such a prestigious institute, it’s good only. It’s only going to benefit her career. Your mind enhances because of what the experts teach you. What you might have taken years to learn from your personal life experience, you get to learn it much early on due to training.”
The actor talked about the importance of training for actors and said that there is expertise in everything, I can’t do your work, you can’t do mine. “Mera belief hai training pe. It is not ki aap bas uth ke aa gaye. Agar koi serious actor banna chahta hai, wo koi to workshop karega, choti ya badi, ya fir kuch na kuch serious kaam karega na? Aisa hona bahut zaruri hai kyunki har cheez ki ek expertise hoti hai. Born actor jaisa kuch nahi hota. Har cheez ki expertise hoti hai, main aapka kaam nahi kar sakta, aap mera kaam nahi kar sakte. Uske liye training ki zarurat hai,” he shared.
Nawazuddin said he wants his daughter Shora to take nothing away from his acting career. He concluded by saying, “Main kisi ke mind pe pressure nahi daalna chahta ki maine ye seekha to tum bhi ye seekho. Wo duniya ko apne nazariye se dekh rahi hai aur wo dekhna zaruri hai. Uska khud ka interpretation hona zaruri hai life ka, thopa hua nahi lagna chahiye. Mera experience, training aur life alag hai. Main jis nazariye se duniya ko dekhta tha, mera experience us hisaab se hua. To mera Shora ko bolna ki mere experience se seekh bahut galat ho jayega. Wo pressure main nahi daalna chahta hun uspe.”
On the work front, Nawazuddin was last seen in the film ‘Rautu Ka Raaz’. It also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Narayani Shastri, Rajesh Kumar and Atul Tiwari in key roles.
