The very talented actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is known for his acting skills and humbled nature. From featuring into small roles to leads, the actor has come a long way. He recently bought a bungalow in Mumbai, in a recent interview with Bombay Times, recalled the time when the size of his house was as big as his current washroom. “Aaj jitna bada mera personal bathroom hai, utnasa mera ghar hua karta tha (Today my bathroom is as big as the house I once lived in),” he told BT.
Speaking to Bombay Times, Nawazuddin said, “Aaj jitna bada mera personal bathroom hai, utnasa mera ghar hua karta tha (Today my bathroom is as big as the house I once lived in). When I moved to Mumbai, I stayed in such a small place, which I shared with four other budding actors. Woh kamra itna chhota tha ki agar main door kholu toh kisi ke pairon mein lag jata tha (That room was so small that if you opened the door, it hit someone’s feet), because, we all used to lay our beds on the floor when we slept there. Dheere dheere (Slowly slowly), I started sharing my room with three people, then with two, and it is only from 2005 that I started living alone.”
Nawazuddin’s bungalow name is Nawab. The actor kept after his father. Nawazuddin said that he wanted his father to see his big Mumbai house but it wasn’t to be. He said, “Unka mann Mumbai ke ghar mein nahi lagta tha (He didn’t like the flats of Mumbai). So, I always had this thing in my mind that I would get him to a bigger place in Mumbai one day, but he passed away before that. I wish my dad could see this bungalow.”
