Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui says he has tried smoking up in his life and at one point he was quite into it as well– only to realise that perhaps it wasn’t wise to continue. The actor said he found himself in company of some people, who motivated him to start smoking up.
In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor was asked if he ever tried smoking up, to which Nawazuddin sheepishly admitted, “I had company of some people, who would smoke up so even I ended up doing that. I realised later that… I don’t want to promote it, I have made mistakes but its benefit was that jo travelling milti thi usmein, bada maza aata tha (the high you’d get in that was a lot of fun). But I do not want to promote it at all, it was our mistake and I want to apologise for that.”

Later in the conversation, Nawazuddin said he has also tried bhaang multiple times, especially during Holi, and said he would feel he is the “biggest actor in the world.” He added, “I would think people are my audience, and the world my stage. So, I would perform! I would sometimes be Ashwatthama, Karn, Krishna and perform for hours.”
Because you get into a loop, so I would perform from morning to night. Later when its effect would subside, people would tell me, ‘Paagal ho gaya kya hai tu? You have been repeating the same dialogue all day! I would go to parks, perform in busses, wherever,” he added.
The actor had a packed 2023 with films like Afwaah, Jogira Sara Ra Ra, Tiku Weds Sheru and Haddi. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is currently awaiting the release of his latest, Rautu Ka Raaz. The mystery thriller will stream on Zee5 from June 28.
