Mumbai: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui said that when he first entered the film world, he faced a lot of humiliation while playing small roles. Before making a name for himself with Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur: Part 2, Nawazuddin was in the film industry for years in small roles. The actor says that he did not even get paid for his roles in many films.
Nawazuddin says that he wanted to eat with the leading actors that day and because of that he was thrown out of the set. He was a person full of ego then. Nawazuddin says that he could not bear such humiliation at that time. In a BBC Hindi interview, Nawazuddin Siddiqui spoke about his experience when asked if there was bad behavior from the film industry in his early days.
“Indeed, thousands of times have faced humiliation. Sometimes I ask the production boy for water on set and he doesn’t even pretend to see me. will be completely ignored. Only then did he realize that he had to earn that respect himself.
On many film sets here, there is a separation between actors in serving food. Junior artistes have food elsewhere, supporting artistes have another place, main heroes have another place. But in some production spaces like Yash Raj, there are places where everyone eats together. But many places do not have this practice.
On a set like this, I looked to eat from where the main actors sit to eat. But they took me by the collar and kicked me out. I was an ego driven person back then and I got really angry. Those actors should respect me. I thought then that they would invite me to eat with them” – said Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
