Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Khan Trio Inspires Me

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the few lucky actors in Bollywood, who has worked with the three Khans of Bollywood. The Badlapur actor worked with Salman in Kick and upcoming Bajrangi Bhaijaan; he is working with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees, and with Aamir Khan he worked in Talaash. The Gangs of Wasseypur star says that he is inspired by the Khan trio.

The Peepli Live actor told PTI, “There are a lot of aspects that we can learn from Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh. Sustaining their stardom for so many years is a big achievement. Even if I don't look at them as actors, they are individuals who have achieved a lot in their life”.

He added, “Their achievements inspire me tremendously. And they have their own separate identity and special strengths”. He previously said that it was Salman who taught him the difference between a star and an actor. He said, “I'll tell you the difference between an actor and a star. If an actor is given a task, for instance, of passing a thread through a needle, he will sincerely do it, focussing totally on it. But if a Salman Khan has to do it, the focus is on Salman Khan doing it, nevermind whether the thread goes through the needle!”.
