Nawazuddin Missed His Sister This Raksha Bandhan

Actor  Nawazuddin Siddiqui is away in his hometown Budhana in Uttarakhand, farming,dubbing, listening  to scripts on Skype  and  mourning for his  sister Syama whom he  lost  in December 2019.

On  Raksha  Bandhan on  Monday, Nawaz found himself  missing his sister  more than ever.

“It is hard  to believe  she  is gone. She  was  the  youngest  among us siblings. She  had so much to look forward  to. But God had  other plans. She  fought her illness for  four years.  She suffered a lot. She was  finally relieved  of the pain,”  says Nawaz sorrowfully.

The death of  someone so  young and so close to his heart has taught Nawaz  to  seize the day. “We never  know what tomorrow has  in  store.  Why waste time in negativity  or  with people who don’t matter to us? I’ve used  this  period of lockdown to better myself  as  a person, to  extend  my  horizons as a student  of acting. There is  so much to learn  from world cinema. Every film that I see enriches me.”
