Nawazuddin Siddiqui may be a massive talent in Bollywood, but he is a simple man at heart. While he nests in his luxurious mansion in Mumbai, he still likes to devour the simple dishes that are prepared in his home town. Even now, an exorbitantly priced bag, his daughter wishes to buy, still reminds him of his middle-class nature. How do we know this? Well, Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently met our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani over a robust meal at his home, where there was lots of chat.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui & Kamiya Jani Joke About “Khamba”
While having a laid-back chat with Kamiya Jani over the lunch table on the Sunday Brunch episode, Nawazuddin Siddiqui spoke about “khamba”. Didn’t ring a bell? Well, “khamba” is a colloquial term for a full bottle of liquor, specifically, a 750ml bottle. In liquor culture in India, “pauwa” refers to a quarter bottle of liquor and “addha”, a half bottle.
As the duo bonded over how “khamba” sounded similar to “thamba”, Kamiya asked Nawaz, jokingly, if customs allow one to bring “khamba”. To this, Nawazuddin Siddiqui instantly replied that one can buy liquor bottles from the duty-free shop at the airport. Without missing a beat, Kamiya playfully asked the Gangs of Wasseypur actor if he purchases “khamba” at the airport duty-free.

The Actor Shares His Mandatory Purchase At Dubai Duty-Free
“Kabhi kabhi” (sometimes), he replied candidly. Then, of course, we wanted to know about his preferred liquor. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, with a smile on his face, revealed his favourite liquor to be a special gin which is only found at Dubai Airport. The actor revealed that the gin has a beautiful colour and comes in an elegant, big bottle.
He leaned over to take a good look at his liquor cabinet to show us the bottle. But he didn’t find it. This gin is a favourite amongst his gang, who often grab it the minute they visit his home. So, it’s always out of stock at Nawab, the actor’s home.
Giving us a hint of what it looks like, Nawazuddin Siddiqui recommended Kamiya to buy herself a bottle of pink-coloured gin the next time she is in Dubai. To this, Kamiya graciously offered to get a bottle for the star during her next visit to Dubai. Well, we’re curious to know more about this pink-hued gin!
