Nawazuddin Siddiqui on his struggles: I went from being a watchman to becoming the ‘watch me’ man

Everyone in Bollywood is not born with a silver spoon. There are many celebs who have struggled a lot in the early phase of their careers and with their hard work and dedication, they are successful actors today. The perfect example of this is none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui who has done many jobs that we can’t even think of doing. From selling coriander to being a watchman, he has done all kinds of jobs for survival. His inspiring story is published on the social media page ‘Humans of Bombay’.

His post starts with, “I grew up in a small town in UP. I come from a family of farm workers; we were 11 people–my parents & my 9 siblings. I was the oldest, so it fell upon me to take care of them.”

While describing his journey in Mumbai, he said, “I did odd jobs–as a watchman, or a coriander seller. I went for a 100 auditions & took every role I got, no matter how small. It took 12 years to get a ‘breakthrough’.”

Ending the post, he wrote, “I went from being a watchman to becoming the ‘watch me’ man & I’m nowhere near being done, so keep watching–I’m here to stay!”

Here’s his full post.
