In today’s episode, we have one of India’s most powerful performers, Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He says he never came to become a star, he just simply wanted to act.
We talked about his childhood being bullied for his colour, growing up with an honest father who failed at many things in life but lived by one rule: don’t lie. He tells us how those early experiences shaped how he sees truth, failure, and success today.
