WEB DESK: Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui, the rising name in B-town - isn't only a versatile actor but is famous for voicing his thought provoking opinions. 

The actor has given a number to super hits to Indian film industry and his promising performance constantly earning him movies after movies. The Raees star basically got rapid fame after appearing in Gangs of Wasseypur.

It wouldn't be wrong to call Gangs of Wasseypur a life changing film for Siddiqui as the 43-year-old actor later seen in a number of films. Plus, he is one of those rising actors who has worked with Khans of B-town. His performance in Salman's Bajrangi Bhaijan and Shah Rukh's Raees speaks itself.

However, things aren't smooth for him since beginning. He stayed patient for so long that he has become 'fear proof'.

According to Indian Express, the actor had gone through a rough path but it only made him stronger than before,"I have already faced so much in my life. I have seen that time when I didn’t even have a single penny in my pocket. And it stayed like that for two-three years. I used to have lunch at one friend’s place, dinner at other’s and a third friend would get cigarettes for me."

Recalling old times, the Mom star further said,"I came to Mumbai with Rs 2,500. If I again face a situation where I am left with just Rs 2,500, I would not feel like a failure. I am not afraid of anything."

Even after gaining fame and world-wide recognition, Siddiqui's down to earth nature hasn't changed. He is fear less and failure does not haunt him anymore.

"It is not about money, but the experience I have gained during my journey, which matters to me. The experience of rejection and failure is priceless. These things have made me what I am today. Whatever I have today is much more than what I ever expected. I feel very secure in my space."

The journey of Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui is heart warming and yes, time was tougher for him back then. But, what make us appreciate him is his determination and fearlessness. We are looking forward to see his power pack performances.
