Nawazuddin Siddiqui Talks About His Alternative Career If Not For Acting

While enjoying a ghar ka khaana with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Kamiya Jani observed that the actor doesn’t post much on social media. The only thing he usually posts is trailers of his films. The actor revealed that he sometimes posts pictures on his social media handles. But what interests him more than those photos is the background music.

In fact, the actor admitted that the reason he adds pictures on Instagram is due to the background music. This left Kamiya amused as she understood that the actor thoughtfully, with a lot of strategy, ends up selecting the right music to go with his carousel post. This left Nawazuddin ruminating that had he not become an actor, he would have become a background music composer for films. “Bahut zyaada shauk hai (I’m very passionate about this),” he says with conviction. “Jaha words khatam ho jaate hai, waha music le jaata hai aapko” ( Where words fall short, music explains), said Nawazuddin.
