Nawazuddin Siddiqui confesses to not being a 'regular drinker'
In an episode of Unfiltered with Samdish, Nawazuddin talked about his occasional drinking, highlighting that he only drinks a little on special occasions. When asked about his first experience with alcohol, he fondly recalled trying beer for the first time at the National School of Drama (NSD) during a celebration after a play. He said, "Main toh kabhi kabaar wala hoon. Aur bahut thoda wala hoon. Ek main hi aukaat yaad aati hai.&rdquo; (I drink rarely and I drink very less).

The actor replied, &ldquo;First time I was in NSD and after a play, where we were celebrating, everyone brought beer. Before that I never drank. I was very innocent. I smoked for the first time in a play.&rdquo;
While Nawazuddin isn't a big fan of drinking, he <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/video/nawazuddin-siddiqui-in-his-sharp-sarcastic-witty-avatar-exclusive-interview-1073240" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">mentioned </a>that he enjoys a bit during Holi, considering it his favorite festival for this reason. He shared how Swanand's thandai left him feeling pretty buzzed for a couple of days.
Addressing a question about marijuana, Nawazuddin expressed his enjoyment, especially in places where it's legal. He explained how it enhances his experience, particularly when combined with music.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's work front
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in a project call 'Haddi'. In a conversation with Mid-day.com, director Akshat Ajay Sharma was willing to wait a year instead of approaching any other actor for Haddi. When he wrote Haddi that revolves around a transgender woman who rises through the ranks to become a feared criminal, he could only imagine Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the titular role. The director&rsquo;s belief paid off as the actor gave his nod as soon as he read the script. &ldquo;Without Nawaz, there is no Haddi. He reads all his scripts. Given his busy schedule, it was a task to get him to sit down with me for three hours. But once he read the script, he said yes immediately,&rdquo; recalls Sharma. &ldquo;He was my only choice for this role. Why do you think I waited a whole year for him and didn&rsquo;t pitch it to anyone else?&rdquo;&nbsp;
