Bollywood is indeed a glamour industry and everyone wants to be closer to it and experience the royalty. Well, it is not that simple to make a mark on the Hindi film industry, especially for an outsider. When they say, the grass is always greener on the other side, it is actually correct. Aspiring artists struggle a lot to reach a noticeable monument in their careers. One of the biggest names in Bollywood, Nawazuddin Siddiqui did not get movies after movies served on a platter. It took him many years to be the household name that he is today.

Parle-G Was His Everyday Meal
In an exclusive interview with Curly Tales, Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared that he survived years with a cup of tea and Parle-G. He did not have that much money to spend on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And hence tea and Parle-G was his meal three times every day. He continued this for almost 1-1.5 years. He shared in the ‘Eat-O-Meter’ round that his favourite biscuit is also Parle-G. When our host gave the Bollywood actor the option to choose between chai-biscuit and coffee-muffin, he of course chose chai-biscuit.
