I’m Not the Odd One Out; Most Indians Mirror My Looks, Quips Nawazuddin Siddiqui | Bollywood

Hey Bollywood buffs! 🎬 Khabree Kiran here, ready to sprinkle some masala on the latest buzz in B-Town. So, grab your chai and let’s dive into the duniya of celluloid naatak!

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: The Everyman Superstar

Picture this: Our very own Nawaz bhai, the man who blends into a crowd like a chameleon at a Holi party, once found himself locked out of his own film set! 😂 Yes, you heard it right—Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the man who could walk past you on a busy Mumbai street and you’d never know, was once told, "Bhai, aap kaun ho?" by a clueless security guard.

Nawaz, with his usual flair, chuckles over this incident from the set of ‘Talaash’. He’s the guy who gets mistaken for the guy who’s there to fetch chai! But, as our Nawaz bhai says, "Main toh bilkul normal lagta hoon, Hrithik Roshan ko dekho, woh hai asli ‘unconventional’!" 😂

Now, let’s talk about auditions! Back in the day, Nawazuddin would walk into an office, announce himself as an actor, and be met with skeptical glances. "Tu actor hai? Yeh baat kuch hajam nahi hoti," they’d say. But with pages of dialogues from theatre hits like "Andha Yug" and "Tughlaq" up his sleeve, Nawaz proved them wrong with a flair that only he could muster.

And speaking of theatre, Nawaz admits he misses it like a Delhiite misses momos on a rainy day. But alas, theatre demands discipline, something our filmi duniya often lacks. Yet, it was the stage that honed his craft, making him the actor who can make you laugh, cry, and think—all in one scene.

Art vs. Commercial Cinema: Nawaz’s Take

In the battle of art versus commercial films, Nawaz has a simple mantra: be versatile. Just like in theatre, where one day you’re doing Shakespeare and the next you’re in a folk play, cinema, too, is a beautiful mix. Nawaz believes there are only good films and bad films, and the so-called art films—though not everyone’s cup of chai—often have a depth that challenges an actor.

Recently, he watched Payal Kapadia’s film that bagged the Cannes Grand Prix. Though it’s not your typical blockbuster, Nawaz appreciates films that make you think. After all, "Deemag ghar pe rakh ke aana hai" doesn’t apply to him! He thrives on evolving through challenging roles.

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ki Kahani Mein Twist

In the glittering galaxy of Bollywood, being a chameleon can be your superpower. As Nawaz bhai shows us, it’s not about standing out, but about fitting in so well that you redefine what ‘stardom’ really means. So, to all aspiring actors out there, remember: Kabhi kabhi, ‘normal’ hona bhi ek superpower hota hai! 🌟
