Born and brought up in a small town in UP, Nawazuddin Siddiqui hailed from a family who struggled to make ends meet.
After picking up a handful of odd jobs including working at a chemist and as a watchman , he finally enrolled in the National School of Drama and ever since there has been no looking back. With films like Sarfarosh, Black Friday and Peepli Live he established himself a ‘dark horse to watch out for.’
