He opened up on his journey and said he gets emotional when he thinks about it. According to Hindustan Times, he stated, “it was a tough time right from the beginning. We have to travel very far across Mumbai for auditions. This one time we had to go in formal clothes, and I couldn’t afford good shoes so I bought one worth ₹200-300 from Andheri and had been using them for quite some time. I would walk to auditions since I didn’t use to have money for bus fares.” Also Read- The Kashmir Files: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reacts to Vivek Agnihotri’s film
He also said that he used to buy a packet of Parle G from the bus fare money. He used to eat biscuits with water if he didn’t find a cup pf tea because he had to survive ‘entire day.’ He also talked about the time when walked barefoot for several kilometers after the lower part of his shoes broke at 9-10 pm. He said, “I couldn’t walk, I was limping. I couldn’t find any cobbler nearby. So I took my shoes in my hands and walked like that for five to seven kilometers.”
