Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has revealed that he is not a “regular drinker” but added that whenever he consumes alcohol, he drinks very less. The actor took a trip down the memory lane and recalled how Swanand Kirkire made him drink thandai during Holi, which affected him for two days.
On Unfiltered with Samdish, when the host asked Nawazuddin about his favourite alcoholic drink, the actor said, “Main toh kabhi kabaar wala hoon. Aur bahut thoda wala hoon. Ek main hi aukaat yaad aati hai.” (I drink rarely and I drink very less). The host then asked him when was the first time he got drunk. The actor replied, “First time I was in NSD and after a play, where we were celebrating, everyone brought beer. Before that I never drank. I was very innocent. I smoked for the first time in a play.”
Nawazuddin said that while he does not enjoy drinking much he likes to have a little during Holi. The Manto actor added, “My favorite festival is Holi. Because you get to drink in that festival.” He said that Swanand made him drink the thandai after which he was uncontrollable and finally regained his normal self after two days.

Mujhe maza aata hai, music shuru kar deta hoon toh mai kuch aur he ho jata hoon. (I enjoy it a lot. I have fun and once the music is playing, I am someone else.)”
