Nawazuddin Siddiqui wants daughter to finish studies before film debut
The actor said his 16-year-old daughter Shora will wait until she is 18 and completes formal training before acting.
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui said his 16-year-old daughter, Shora, will not enter the film industry until she completes her education and formal acting training. According to a Times of India report, the actor wants her to build a strong foundation before taking on professional roles.
Shora has already performed in theatre and attended workshops in London, and the two recently performed 10-12 shows together in the US. While she has begun receiving film offers, Siddiqui told ABP News that he wants her to focus on her studies for the time being.
The actor intends for her to enrol in a long-term acting course lasting between 18 months and two years. He stated that she should turn 18 before making her debut on the big screen.
Siddiqui is also introducing her to cinema with depth, such as the The Godfather series and Pulp Fiction. He has also shown her films featuring Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri to help her understand the craft.
The actor noted that while Shora initially found these demanding films difficult to watch, she has gradually started enjoying them. He believes she should watch films with more substance rather than only light-hearted entertainment.
