Bollywood’s self-made actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has proven his acting skills over and over again with each project. The actor has been gearing up for his upcoming release Rautu Ka Raaz on Zee5. Recently in an interview, he shared that his daughter Shora Siddiqui aspired to become an actor and she already started taking training at the age of 14. Nawaz also shared that he and his wife Aaliya Siddiqui support their daughter’s passion. 

In an interview with Film Companion, Nawazuddin said “My daughter is taking training right now. She herself went and got admitted to the performing art faculty, haath jod ke teacher ke saamne (with folded hands in front of her teacher) she said, ‘I want to learn acting'. In that department, in that school, they will be performing a play in the final year, for that they'll have to stitch their own costumes, they'll have to do the carpentry work themselves, whatever props will be used, they'll have to make it themselves, they'll also have to take care of the lighting, do all the work themselves and at last there will be a show which will be ticketed. This is the kind of rigorous training she is taking. She is doing all of this by herself.”

He also shared that his wife Aaliya Siddiqui also supporting their daughter’s decision. Nawaz said, “Now that I see that she is taking so much interest, so just as other parents, we too tell her ‘Toh chalo kar lo tum,' [ok, you do it.] She is doing it independently and for the longest time, I didn't even know that she got through the performing arts faculty. I don't even know what all workshops she does, she attends quite a lot of them, she is doing the summer workshop right now. She searches them herself and tells her mother or me that she wants to do it and asks me to pay the fees.”

 
He was also asked if he teaches acting to his daughter, Nawazuddin replied “No, ghar ki murgi dal baraabar hoti hai na, waisa hai. She watches a lot of film, watches world cinema. She is all of 14 and she watches one film every day. She had once performed one piece to show me, I asked her how she did it and she said, ‘Papa, main puri taiyaari kar rahi hoon. Filmein dekhti hoon main (Papa, I am preparing, I watch a lot of films.)' So its like that, its her passion, so what can I say?'.”
 
 
On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be next seen in Rautu Ka Raaz. The movie also stars Atul Tiwari, Narayani Shastri and Rajesh Kumar in prominent roles. It will be premiering on Zee5 on 28th June.
