New Delhi: Nawazuddin Siddiqui does not fit into the image of a typical Bollywood hero and the star says he was never interested in becoming one as he entered the industry with the sole aim to be recognised as a good actor.
The 42-year-old actor started his career with minor roles in films like “Sarfarosh” and “Munna Bhai MBBS”. He went on to gain fame after starring in films like “Black Friday”, “Kahaani” and “Gangs of Wasseypur”.
Nawaz believes his hardwork has paid off as he is finally getting the kind of roles he always wanted to do.
“Everybody has to go through ups and downs that’s part and parcel of life. I’ve also seen a lot of ups and downs in my life but I’m more than happy that now I’m getting the opportunities to play my choice of roles.
“I’d never desired for typical hero roles in Bollywood. I only wanted to make my identity as an actor here. Thanks to our industry, which is now actually writing roles for an artiste like me. Even commercial films have roles for an actor like me so I couldn’t ask for more,” Nawaz told in an interview.
