Nawazudin Siddiqui shares a life lesson

He prioritized being alive and getting food to survive in Mumbai.

In the interview, Nawazuddin Siddiqui reminisced how he used to visit his friend for food. However, the actor revealed that he did get low and battled negative thoughts during his three years of training from the National School of Drama.
