Happy 47th birthday Nawazuddin Siddiqui! The actor had his own journey of rejections and struggles before he came into the limelight.
Today, we will share some of his lesser-known performances, or you can say blink-and-you-will-miss roles in Bollywood.
Bollywood Movies:
1. Sarfarosh
Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s first-ever onscreen performance was in Aamir Khan’s Sarfarosh, which was released in 1999. He played the role of a local criminal who got arrested and interrogated after a raid at Victoria House.
Did you know the birthday boy never got the chance to interact with Aamir Khan when he appeared in Sarfarosh? While talking about this in an interview, Nawaz said, “During ‘Sarfarosh’, I had no interaction with Aamir. After ‘Sarfarosh’ and before ‘Talaash’, I had met Aamir Khan during ‘Peepli Live’. He used to come on the sets and once while shooting, I thought I should tell him that we had met during Sarfarosh and we had done a minute role in that film. He was very happy after knowing it, he actually stopped the film shoot and he told everyone about our scene from the movie.”
2. Shool
His next movie was in the same year only. Nawazuddin was seen as a waiter at a Dhaba in this Manoj Bajpayee- Raveena Tandon starrer.
