Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s daughter Shora, who is a spitting image of her talented father, is all set to follow in his footsteps. The 13-year-old is keen on taking up acting professionally given her strong liking for performing arts. Nawaz, who has trained actors and conducted workshops with them in his early years, is clear that acting needs to be learned and needs appropriate training.

Talking about his daughter stepping into his profession, the National School of Drama (NSD) alumnus tells us, “I want Shora to follow her dreams. She is 13 and is all set to pursue performing arts. I have enrolled her into an acting school. I want her to be a trained actor if she wishes to take up acting professionally. Acting is an art and it helps to be prepared. I am there for her and will always support her in every way possible, but just that isn’t enough. I will even take her to the best acting schools and workshops. If you want something badly, you need to put your best foot forward and do it with all your heart.”
