Nawazuddin Siddiqui is undoubtedly one of the best actors in Bollywood but the actor had struggled a lot to reach this level. To this, the actor said: "In those days, I used to work on a daily basis for television shows as a junior artiste. Because of my brown complexion, people used to say, 'We can't take you... we have to put extra light to make you visible, you are dark and we don't have time.' "Even after 12 years, nothing much has changed. People call me 'unusual'. They say that a dark skinned man is too unusual to become a hero of a mainstream film." "In our country, a majority of the population have dark skin complexion. Even I have a dark complexion, which means I represent the majority. I want to ask, how am I the 'unusual' when I represent the maximum," he asked. "I am not a computer that can be switched on and off any time as per requirement. I am a human being. So, of course, I get a hangover of the character that I play in films, even after the shooting gets over. "It is actually a painful process to build a character and then break it and get into another character. At times, I feel like I don't have any identity. I think my identity is that I don't have an identity as an actor," he also said on playing different characters. On the work front, he will be next seen in film Baabumoshai Bandookbaaz.
