Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a prominent figure in Bollywood, recently highlighted the risks associated with marijuana use among the youth. Speaking on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, he candidly shared his past experiences with marijuana and bhaang, a cannabis-infused drink. Although he once found pleasure in these substances, Siddiqui now regrets his involvement and discourages others from following suit. Reflecting on those days, he admitted to enjoying the unique highs, especially while travelling, but acknowledged that his past actions were a mistake. He emphasized the importance of steering clear of such behaviors for one's health and well-being.
During his discussion, Siddiqui fondly recalled festive occasions like Holi, where consuming bhaang would evoke intense pleasure and a sense of being immersed in Indian mythology. He humorously recounted how, under the influence, he would passionately act out roles of legendary characters like Ashwatthama and Krishna throughout the day, often repeating conversations to the amusement and bewilderment of friends and onlookers. Despite these colorful memories, Siddiqui underscored his evolution beyond such activities and urged today's youth to avoid experimenting with drugs.
In his professional life, Nawazuddin Siddiqui continues to expand his repertoire with diverse roles, including his latest venture, "Rautu Ka Raaz." Set in the serene village of Rautu Ki Beli in Uttarakhand, where crime is virtually non-existent for over 15 years, the film promises to be a captivating addition to his body of work. Scheduled for release on Zee5, fans eagerly anticipate Siddiqui's portrayal in this intriguing murder thriller, further solidifying his status as a versatile actor in the Indian film industry.
