Nawazuddin Siddiqui Tells The Difference Between Hero And Actor, Says Heroes Have Shelf-Life

A hero is usually a saviour in the movie. Going by the history of cinema, a hero is usually good-looking and extremely sassy. An actor, on the other hand, is a true performer.

Sharing his own views on a hero and an actor and telling the difference between the two, Nawazuddin Siddiqui says heroes have a shelf-life but actors don't.

In an interview with Aaj Tak, Siddiqui said, "Ye koi bhi bata dega ki hero ka waqt hota hai, actor ka koi waqt nahi hota. Actor puri zindagi acting karta hai. Wo alag alag kirdaaron mein nazar aata hai (Anyone can tell you that heroes have a shelf life, not actors. Actors can act for their entire lives, he is seen in various characters)."

"Rahi baat hero ki, to jab tak uske dole-shole, pump-vump rehte hain, tab tak wo theek hai. Jaha pump ki hawa nikli, to wo gayab ho jata hai (As far as heroes are concerned, they are fine til their bodies look great. Once that goes, he disappears)". he added.

On being asked why he stays away from the limelight, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said the film industry is fake.

"I do similar kinds of films and my nature is also the same. Neither do I work in fake films nor do I have a fake attitude. The reason for being aloof is that I don't like the stardom and glamour world. I like to live more among ordinary people than attending events or parties of the film industry. I see a lot of fakeness there, which I don't like," he said.
