00:00You are unconventional.
00:02I am a conventional person because 90% of people like me live here.
00:06Sometimes you get to know by yourself in the newspaper that I have done this.
00:18Hi, this is Nawazuddin Siddiqui for Proof.
00:21Have you ever given a weird audition?
00:25I have given a very weird audition.
00:27Which one can be the most weird?
00:33I went for an audition and I was told that I have to ride a horse.
00:39Because there were a lot of horses on it.
00:42There were a lot of wars and armies on it.
00:44So I said, yes sir, I know.
00:47Although I did not know, I lied.
00:50Because I needed work.
00:52So when I reached the set, I asked the action director,
00:57this is the horse, will you ride it?
01:00He said, I will sit.
01:02Now it's up to you whether to walk or not.
01:04He got very angry and threw me out.
01:07Because I don't know how to ride a horse.
01:09Was there a time when you did not have money to stay in Mumbai?
01:14In the beginning, everyone is like this.
01:15What about me?
01:16All the actors come from outside.
01:18This happens with everyone.
01:20Sometimes it happens more with someone.
01:22It was with me.
01:23Because our biggest problem was survival.
01:26So I told my seniors, what can I do with you?
01:31They said, there is only one condition.
01:33You have to cook for me.
01:35So I said, this is a very good thing.
01:38I will cook for the school as well as for you.
01:40So I started.
01:41And while cooking, when I got a call,
01:43I realized that I had become a cook instead of an actor.
01:49So sir, what was this story that you told a girl
01:52that next time you will see me directly on TV?
01:55Actually, when the TV came to our village,
01:57she used to go to see agriculture.
02:00So I used to tell her in between.
02:02When she used to go, I used to tell her on the way,
02:04talk to me.
02:06So she didn't talk.
02:07She said, I have to go to see agriculture.
02:10So I said, I will come and show you on TV one day.
02:12So I did this and forgot.
02:14Then I completed my graduation.
02:16Then I did theater.
02:17Then I came to Mumbai.
02:18When I came to Mumbai and did a serial for the first time,
02:22after doing it, I realized that I had promised a girl.
02:26So I called my friend in my village.
02:29I said, talk to that girl.
02:31I had told her that one day I will come and show you on TV.
02:34And tomorrow my program is coming on Sunday.
02:37So she said, brother, she is married.
02:39She has 5-6 children.
02:41And those who are married, they don't even let her go out on TV.
02:45Your video went viral a few days ago,
02:48when you were taking the local train to Mars 10.
02:51I had to reach the event around 6.30.
02:54And I was shooting at 5.30 on Meera Road.
02:58And this was the event's center.
03:00It was not possible for me to go by car.
03:04And I had to reach on time.
03:06So of course, I took a simple route.
03:11I took a scooter and reached the station.
03:13I changed two trains and reached the event on time.
03:17Did anyone recognize you there?
03:19Did you have any fan encounters?
03:21No, I was wearing a mask.
03:23And I had my glasses on.
03:25So no one recognized me.
03:27Even if they recognized me, what was the big deal?
03:31I used to do it before.
03:33What was the most special recognition for you?
03:38It was Asia-Pacific.
03:43I was nominated twice.
03:45And there were a lot of awards.
03:47International awards.
03:49I liked that the films that were a little tough,
03:54like the regular cinema,
03:57I appreciated those films.
04:01Some people here liked it and some people there didn't.
04:07For example, there was Raman Raghav, Manto, Serious Women.
04:13I want to do that kind of cinema.
04:15I want to give international appreciation to cinema.
04:19I want to give people love and awards.
04:21So in between, I try to do tough cinema.
04:27I want to do weird cinema.
04:28I want to do weird characters.
04:30I like it.
04:36You
