Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a powerhouse of talent in Bollywood, embarked on his career with a role in the Aamir Khan-starrer, Sarfarosh. However, his unforgettable performances in Gangs of Wasseypur, The Lunchbox, Raman Raghav 2.0, and Manto earned him fame and catapulted him to the industry's centre stage. His fans, in awe of his acting prowess, have been a constant source of support. In his personal life, Nawazuddin tied the knot with Aaliya Siddiqui in 2009, and together, they are proud parents of two children, Shora and Yani.
Nawazuddin Siddique's daughter, Shora, also wants to enter Bollywood, so she is learning acting and taking up other related professional courses in London. Nawazuddin shared that he is very proud of the fact that his daughter is learning to act professionally, as each institute teaches different things. He is hopeful that these workshops and courses will be beneficial for her future. In Nawazuddin's words:

"Of course, I feel proud of it. Every workshop and training institute can teach you things that you might not have knownabout. If she is learning from such a prestigious institute, it's good only. It's only going to benefit her career. Your mind enhances because of what the experts teach you. What you might have taken years to learn from your personal life experience, you get to learn it much early on due to training."
Nawazuddin added that one can't get up one day and go forth to become a serious actor. An aspiring actor should go for workshops, be it in any field as having expertise is essential. Nawazuddin further added:
“Mera belief hai training pe. It is not ki aap bas uth ke aa gaye. Agar koi serious actor banna chahta hai, wo koi to workshop karega, choti ya badi, ya fir kuch na kuch serious kaam karega na? Aisa hona bahut zaruri hai kyunki har cheez ki ek expertise hoti hai. Born actor jaisa kuch nahi hota. Har cheez ki expertise hoti hai, main aapka kaam nahi kar sakta, aap mera kaam nahi kar sakte. Uske liye training ki zarurat hai.”
Nawazuddin added that although he is an actor, he has never burdened his daughter and instead let her navigate her own path. He explained that it is very important for her to have an independent perspective about life, and he respects and supports her decisions, understanding that his experiences are different, and he can't expect Shora to have the same. In his words:
“Main kisi ke mind pe pressure nahi daalna chahta ki maine ye seekha to tum bhi ye seekho. Wo duniya ko apne nazariye se dekh rahi hai aur wo dekhna zaruri hai. Uska khud ka interpretation hona zaruri hai life ka, thopa hua nahi lagna chahiye. Mera experience, training aur life alag hai. Main jis nazariye se duniya ko dekhta tha, mera experience us hisaab se hua. To mera Shora ko bolna ki mere experience se seekh bahut galat ho jayega. Wo pressure main nahi daalna chahta hun uspe.”
A few days back, in an interaction with Shubhankar Mishra, Nawazuddin clarified that his first job as a watchman didn’t mean that he belonged to a poor family. Nawazuddin added that while his parents were more than ready to lend some money to him, he didn’t feel quite up to it, and thereby burden them. In his words:

“Meri shakal soorat aisi thi, main gareeb toh nahi tha. That’s because I would not take money from home. There was money at home always, thoda bohot paisa tha…but I didn’t want to take money from my family because I was doing a job of my choice without even telling them. My parents were always ready to give me money, they’d say, ‘kuch problem ho toh le le. You aren’t asking for any money and we don’t even know what you are doing.”
