His daughter is so so adorable!” A fan also asked about her film debut, “She is beautiful… when is coming to movies.”
A day before, Nawazuddin had shared a video montage of her several childhood pictures and videos, along with some of her latest pics. “Happiest Birthday My Love #ShoraSiddiqui,” he wrote. A fan had commented on the video, “Daddy’s girl, true copy of her father. Happy birthday.”
Nawazuddin had earlier revealed in an interview that Shora was very upset on seeing his first look dressed as a woman from his upcoming film Haddi. “She now knows that it’s for a role and is fine now,” he had told Bombay Times in an interview.
Nawazuddin will now be seen in Haddi. His look as a woman in a wig and makeup has also been compared to Archana Puran Singh. Talking about the role, he had said in the BT interview, “What do women think? What do they want? An actor’s job is to get into the head of the character he plays. Your perception, outlook towards life as a woman is bound to be different and that is the most difficult part about Haddi for me. The film is not about costumes and gestures. The process is more internal.”
