9 times Nawazuddin Siddiqui inspired us with motivational messages

Manisha Chauhan

“All my friends and relatives said ‘how will he become a hero’ when I set out and when I go back now they say ‘he has done it. I made it possible.”

“20 years ago I went to an office. The Assistant director had asked, “You are not looking like an actor, how will you become an actor?”

“Behind every easy role, there is a lot of hard work that goes in.”

“My job is to work hard and be honest with my character, and that’s in my control. I can only try to give my best performance.”

“My experience has offered me the sensibility that encourages me to try newer characters.”

“So many times I felt I was wasting my time because things were just not working out.”

“It is easy to do the job, but creativity is difficult.”

“I love observing people. Each face tells so many stories. It lets me understand emotions, and that helps me apply my skills as an actor.”

“I want to become the highest-paid actor. Not because I want money, but because I know I will be paid for my acting, for my ability to entertain.”
