Bollywood popularly known actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui was rejected by his childhood crush in his village. Though he had promised her to appear on television one day. Nawazuddin Siddiqui made his debut in the Hindi film industry back in 1999 with a small role in Aamir Khan starrer Sarfarosh. In a recent media interaction, the actor revealed the story and shared more interesting details about it.
In a chat with Brut India, the actor remembered the time when a girl in his village had rejected him because she was a television addict and had no time to talk to him. At that time, a young and hurt Nawazuddin had promised that girl to appear on television and had said, ‘Ek din tujhe TV pe aa kar dikhaunga’. He stated:
“Actually, when we got a TV in our village, she used to go to watch Krishi Darshan. Sometimes when she was on her way, I’d ask her to talk to me. But she didn’t talk to me because she wanted to go watch Krishi Darshan. So, I told her, ‘Ek din tujhe TV pe aa kar dikhaunga’ (One day, I’ll be on TV).”
Furthermore, in the same interview, Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared that after successfully bagging his first television series in Mumbai, he had dialed an old friend in his village to inform that girl about his television debut. Though, he had learnt that the girl was married by then with five kids. Besides, her husband did not allow her to watch TV or step outside their house. He mentioned:
“In Mumbai, when I did a serial for the first time, I remembered I had made a promise to a girl. So I called my friend in my village and asked him to talk to that girl. I had told her one day I’ll be on TV. My program is tomorrow, on Sunday. My friend said, “Brother, she’s married and has 5-6 children. And the person she’s married to not only doesn’t let her watch TV but also doesn’t let her leave the house.”
He had married his ex-girlfriend, Aaliya, after a broken marriage in 2009. Although things did not go well between them, they had decided to get separated. In 2021, Aaliya changed her mind and withdrew her plea for divorce. In an old interview, Nawazuddin had said that he would always support his wife, Aaliya, and their two kids which would always remain his priority. He had stated:
“I don’t let negativity and hatred get to me. She is still the mother of my children, and we have shared a decade of our life together. I will always support her no matter what. Mera farz banta hai ke main unka khayal rakhu. Aaliya and I are not on the same page, we may not agree with each other, but our children have always been my priority.”
On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming film, Heropanti 2, starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, is to be released on April 29, 2022.
