Talking about how he and his wife, producer Aaliya Siddiqui, support their daughter’s passion, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said, “Now that I see that she is taking so much interest, so just as other parents, we too tell her ‘Toh chalo kar lo tum,’ [ok, you do it.] She is doing it independently and for the longest time, I didn’t even know that she got through the performing arts faculty. I don’t even know what all workshops she does, she attends quite a lot of them, she is doing the summer workshop right now. She searches them herself and tells her mother or me that she wants to do it and asks me to pay the fees.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, best known for his critically-acclaimed work in the Gangs Of Wasseypur series of films and the web series Sacred Games, has starred in films like Badlapur, Kick, Raman Raghav 2.0, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Raees, Manjhi: The Mountain Man, Motichoor Chaknachoor and Raat Akeli Hi, to name a few.
