Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the most internationally recognised actors in Indian cinema. Born in Budhana, Uttar Pradesh, and trained at the National School of Drama, he spent years in small roles in films such as Black Friday and Peepli Live before Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012, The Lunchbox and Bajrangi Bhaijaan changed his career. He has received the Padma Shri.
His later work includes Manto, Raees and Badlapur, and his performance as Ganesh Gaitonde anchored Netflix's Sacred Games. The New York Times and Variety have both listed him among the best actors in the world. His career is studied as a case of persistence in an industry that rarely rewards outsiders.
On stage he talks about the long climb, the preparation behind a character, and what it means to carry small-town India onto a global screen. He speaks in Hindi, English and Urdu, and does best in a moderated conversation where his candour comes through. For a founder's day, a leadership offsite or a large college audience, he brings star presence and a story about patience that stays with people.
