Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the most loved and acclaimed actors in the industry. The actor has delivered some of the most cherished films in the industry, such as Gangs of Wasseypur and Badlapur. In a recent conversation, the actor opened up about his love for acting and his principles. He shared that he would rather sell his belongings to fund his own projects than ask for work.
In a conversation with Samdish, the actor stated, 'If a day like that comes when I have no work, I don’t even have the strength to go and ask for it. I can’t come to you and say, ‘Give me work.’ I will sell my house, my shoes, and everything and make a film on my own. I am so confident about that. I can’t do that in my life. Acting is important, but acting in films is not. I will do it on the streets, trains, or buses.'

The actor further detailed that he doesn't feel that asking for work is wrong, but personally, he wouldn't ask for it. In the same interview, Nawazuddin shared that he used to stammer, and it made him quite insecure. He said, 'When I am really angry, the stammering comes back. It went away in 2005 and 2006. Maybe it was there because of insecurity, and then when I achieved some things in life, it went away.'
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Work Front:
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in a project called 'Haddi.' In a conversation with Mid-day.com, director Akshat Ajay Sharma was willing to wait a year instead of approaching any other actor for Haddi. When he wrote Haddi, which revolves around a transgender woman who rises through the ranks to become a feared criminal, he could only imagine Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the titular role. The director’s belief paid off as the actor gave his nod as soon as he read the script. 'Without Nawaz, there is no Haddi. He reads all his scripts. Given his busy schedule, it was a task to get him to sit down with me for three hours. But once he read the script, he said yes immediately,' recalls Sharma. 'He was my only choice for this role. Why do you think I waited a whole year for him and didn’t pitch it to anyone else?”
