Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals how his daughter Shora keeps him grounded.

Nawazuddin talked about his bond with daughter Shora and said, “I am more attached to my daughter. I yell at her sometimes, but she is very dear to me. She studies in Dubai and she is a moohphat (straightforward). She criticises me. The best part is she is not in awe of me. She doesn’t care that her father is a great actor — in two minutes, she can criticise me.”

When asked when Shora criticised him, Nawazuddin said, “Mujhe zameen par laa deti hai (She keeps me grounded). Meri kuch aadatein hain jispe voh mujhe suna deti hai (I have some habits for which she scolds me). She hasn’t even watched many of my movies.”

In July this year, Nawazuddin took to Instagram and shared a video of his daughter Shora performing a short scene in English with another actor. The internet was impressed by the 15-year-old’s talent and performance, with many praising her dialogue delivery. Earlier, Nawaz had revealed that his daughter also wants to be an actor and is currently training to become one.
