Nawazuddin Siddiqui won't ask for work

Last week, Nawaz appeared on Unfiltered by Samdish where he spoke about what he would do if he ran out of work. He said he would rather sell all his belongings to make a film and stated that acting is important to him and he would do it anywhere. The actor said: “If I don’t have work tomorrow, I don’t even have the strength to go and ask for it. I can’t come to you and say, ‘Give me work.’ I will sell my house, my shoes and everything and make a film on my own. I am so confident about that. I can’t do that in my life. Acting is important, but acting in films is not. I will do it on the streets, trains or bus.”

In the same interview, Nawaz revealed that he used to stammer a lot earlier. However, things changed after he started getting work. “I never thought that I would be able to do these things, because I was a little laidback. I was a tube light. I used to stammer, and take time to understand things,” he said. Nawaz revealed that the stammering comes back whenever he is really angry at times.
