Nawazuddin Siddiqui (born 19 May 1974) is an Indian film actor who works in Hindi cinema. After a period of unnoticed performances in his early career, he received the Special Jury Award at the 2012 National Film Awards.
Siddiqui was born on 19 May 1974 in Budhana, a small town and tehsil in Muzaffarnagar district of the Western Uttar Pradesh State (Harit Pradesh) of India, into a zamindari Muslim family of Numberdars. He was the eldest of his eight siblings. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar. Following this, he worked as a chemist in Vadodara for a year, before leaving for Delhi in search for a new job. Once in Delhi, he was instantly drawn into acting after watching a play, and in pursuit to secure admission at National School of Drama (NSD) in New Delhi, he acted in over ten plays with a group of friends, to fulfill one of the criteria for admission.
Siddiqui went to the National School of Drama, New Delhi. After graduating from NSD, he moved to Mumbai. In 2004, which was one of the worst years of his struggle, he couldn’t pay any rent. He asked an NSD senior if he could stay with him. The senior allowed him to share his apartment in Goregaon if he was willing to cook meals for him. Nawazuddin made his Bollywood debut in 1999, with a small role in Aamir Khan starrer, Sarfarosh. After that, he hung out at film studios and shootings but only got stereotypical roles. He shared screen along with Sunil Dutt and Sanjay Dutt in Munnabhai MBBS in the opening scenes where he tries to pick the pocket of Sunil Dutt. After moving to Mumbai he tried to get work in television serials, but did not achieve much success. He did a short film The Bypass in 2003, where he appeared with actor, Irrfan Khan. Beyond that between 2002–05, he was largely out of work, and lived in a flat he shared with four other people, and survived by conducting occasional acting workshops.

The same year, she ventured into television dramas—the ARY Digital's romance Neeyat. The romantic drama Humsafar (2011) marked a turning-point in her career which earned her wide critical appreciation and the Lux Style Award for Best Television Actress, thus making Khan a household name.

Con el calor de una sonrisa
Y el perfume de la brisa
Llegas tú, llegas tú
Pequeña como los luceros
Y diciéndome un te quiero
Llegas tú, llegas tú
No sé si estás
Pensando en realidad
Que eres mi verdad
Que cada día más
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
Si todo el mundo fuera mío
Las estrellas ó el rocío
Fueras tú, fueras tú
Y dando tumbos al vacío
Volaríamos unidos
Porque yo, porque yo
No sé si estás
Pensando en realidad
Que eres mi verdad
Que cada día más
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
