Who is Shora Siddiqui? Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Daughter, Who 'Destroyed' His Confidence in Dancing

Nawazuddin Siddiqui might be a master of his craft, but at home, he is just another dad getting roasted by his teenager. The ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ star recently shared a few laughs about his daughter, Shora, and her refusal to sugarcoat her opinions, especially when it comes to his rhythm.

Who is Shora Siddiqui?

Shora is the 16-year-old daughter of the Bollywood actor. While she has grown up away from the constant hum of the paparazzi, she is starting to make her own mark. She is currently taking acting classes and training seriously, though the family is staying quiet on whether she will actually take the plunge and sign a Bollywood film.

Why Shora Siddiqui Knocked Nawazuddin’s Confidence

Even a veteran actor has his weak spots, and Shora has found Nawazuddin’s. During a chat with Zoom, he admitted that his daughter is his harshest critic when he tries to bust a move.

‘She asks me not to do it,’ he joked, confessing that he is a ‘poor dancer.’ He admitted her brutal honesty has ‘destroyed’ his confidence when it comes to dancing. He feels a bit awkward about his footwork now, but he isn’t giving up yet, he reckons you don’t have to be a pro just to have a bit of a laugh.

It turns out Shora isn’t exactly a massive fan of his movies, either. Nawazuddin said she hasn’t actually watched much of his work, though she might have seen Gangs of Wasseypur on the sly. For the most part, she is more interested in critiquing his dance moves than his acting.

Will Shora Siddiqui Follow Her Father into Bollywood?

The big question is whether Shora will eventually join the family business. Nawazuddin has confirmed that she definitely has an interest in the craft and is busy with her training. However, the teenager hasn't yet said if she wants to be the next big star or if she is just exploring her options for now.
