Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Did C-grade Films for 5-6 Years

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has earned appreciation for each role he has portrayed on the big screen. We all know that Nawazuddin worked as a security guard and also as a chemist in the past, but very less people know that before entering Bollywood, the Kick actor also featured in C-grade films. The Kahaani actor also revealed that he never thought of acting in films and wanted to be a TV actor rather.

The Gangs of Wasseypur actor told PTI, “I did not come here (in Mumbai) thinking of becoming a Bollywood actor. I wanted to do TV. But no one gave me a chance in TV. So I started doing C-grade films for 5-6 years... I did one and two scenes roles. I did not dream much as it would have led to disappointment”.

“I am happy that people are appreciating my work now. I want to discover life through characters”, said the Badlapur actor. He also talked about his experience working in commercial films and said, “In commercial films, the characters have layers which makes it easy for an actor to do his job”.
