Lessons to be learned from Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s characters
Hopeful and Dedicated
In 2015, Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the lead character in Ketan Mehta’s Manjhi: The Mountain Man. The movie also cast Radhika Apte and Ashutosh Acharya as lead characters. Nawazuddin plays the character of Dashrath Manjhi in the movie who lives in a small village with his wife and son. When his pregnant wife fails to cross a big mountain and travel to the other side in order to get medical help, she dies. It is then when Manjhi decides that he will break the mountain one day so that nobody else has to suffer as he did. When he started hammering the mountain, people called him a lunatic but that only steeled his resolve further. After 22 years of back-breaking labour, Manjhi carved a path 360 feet long, 25 feet deep in places and 30 feet wide. It was only possible because Manjhi was dedicated to what he had decided and was hopeful that he will do it one day.

Helpful and a Good Human
In 2015, Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the character of Chand Nawab in Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The movie cast Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Harshaali Malhotra as lead characters. The plot of the movie revolves around an Indian man who goes to Pakistan to drop a dumb girl back home. Nawazuddin’s character, Chand Nawab is a Pakistani reporter who when finds out the truth about the man, goes to a great extent to help them, instead of ratting them out. Chand Nawab documents their journey on video, but when his boss refuses to air it, thinking it's a useless story, he uploads the video on YouTube. While reviewing the footage, Munni (the kid) recognises her mother getting off a bus in the background. The trio goes to the bus station and finally identify Sultanpur as Munni's hometown. Chand Nawab was a very helpful man and a very good human being who kept all the religious differences aside in order to help the innocent girl and the brave man.
