New Delhi: The journey of success in Bollywood is not always easy – and Nawazuddin Siddiqui knows that the best. Despite not having a specific form of a mainstream hero, the actor has created a strong career based on a deep love for talent and acting.
In a chat with ANI recently, Nawazuddin talked about how difficult it was for him to initially and remembered how television did not offer him to work in his early days, despite all his efforts.
He said, “In Isio toh Shruat Meen TV serials, Meen is also a lot of Jado-jahd. (This is why I initially struggled a lot in TV serials. But I did not get work on TV either.)
Nawazuddin, who started with small roles in films like Sarfarosh and Shool, arose for fame after leading in ‘Gangs of Wasipur Part 2’. Since then, he has created a name for himself in Indian cinema with his deep and honest performance.
But Nawaz said that he never came to Bollywood to chase fame or big roles and hence he was never disappointed about playing a minor role in films. Even if he has not got a break in films, he must have followed his passion for acting in the theater.

Asked if he felt like leaving him during the early days, the actor shared, “I did not come here to do big roles. Whatever I came from my way.
He said, “If acting Nahin Milta Toh Main opened its group, which is a local train, in Bombay, the theater on the carcation. My job was acting Karna, that is also the main kahin,” he said. (If I did not get a chance to act, I must have started my own group and would have done theater in local trains in Mumbai. Acting was my job – I could do it anywhere.)
Nawaz also talked about his upcoming project Costao, a biography based on the life of Goa -based Customs Officer Costao Fernandes.
Asked how difficult it was to fulfill the character of real -life, Nawaz said, “This is a big challenge … It is a very risky task to do a biopic as an actor in our industry.”
Costao has been directed by Debut Sejal Shah and Priya Bapat, Kishore Kumar ji, Gagan Dev Rair and Hussain Dalal. The film will be released on Zee5 on 1 May.
