Biography
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is an Indian actor whose deliberate, unglamorous approach to character work reshaped Hindi cinema's relationship with supporting performance. Born 19 May 1974, he trained at the National School of Drama before accumulating minor credits in Sarfarosh (1999), Shool (1999), and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S (2003). His breakthrough came through Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday (2004), followed by the 2012 Gangs of Wasseypur duology, which established him as a scene-stealer. The Lunchbox (2013) earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, the first of two Filmfare wins; subsequent roles in Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016), Raees (2017), Mom (2017), and Manto (2018) cemented his standing. He also starred in two Emmy-nominated series: Sacred Games (2018–2019) and the British McMafia (2018). His full list of accolades includes a National Film Award, an IIFA Award, and an International Emmy nomination. As a Taurus born in 1974, Siddiqui embodies the sign's reputation for patience and depth—willing to inhabit unglamorous roles others might refuse. With a Life Path 9, he carries numerological associations with artistic completion and universal perspective, traits evident in his refusal of stock heroism. Actors perform live, record filmed scenes, and inhabit characters across genres; Siddiqui's discipline reflects his formal training and deliberate career curation. Based in India, he works across Hindi-language production.
