Nawazuddin Siddiqui one of the most successful versatile actors we have in the industry today. The actor who made his Bollywood debut in the year 1999, with a small role in the Aamir Khan starrer Sarfarosh has been successful in making his mark in the entertainment industry.

But little did anyone know that he would also share his tough and troubled times as an actor and how he was depressed and how he used to struggle to get a square meal, and felt like he was about to die. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the actor said, "I have always had mazdoor-like hardworking, fighting spirit. I don't think that I am bigger than them. I had the same intentions as theirs. I didn't dream of becoming a star. My only intention was to survive and earn for the next meal. It continued for 10 years. I did odd jobs and walked to my friend's house for food. There were difficult times but we were happy even then. But yes, I did feel depressed at times because of lack of work. Depression and frustration start when you dream big."
