Nawazuddin Siddiqui, one of Bollywood’s multifaceted performers, struggled for years before breaking out in an instant thanks to his role in Gangs of Wasseypur: Part II, directed by Anurag Kashyap.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui remembers being beaten up on the seat in a recent interview.

Nawazuddin recalled how he used to be handled on the sets when he attempted to eat with the stars and said in an interview, “Of course, thousands of times. When I asked the spot boy for water on set, he occasionally gave me the silent treatment. You would then need to obtain it on your own. In many local shows, the actors and crew eat separately.
