22 May 2017

Nawazturned 43 on May 19, shares his birthday with his two-year old son. But I am never home to celebrate,Nawazsays a tad regretfully. When my son was born in 2015 I was promoting BajrangiBhaijaan.This year I am at Cannes. But its okay. I am working hard to ensure their future. Hopefully someday my children will be proud of me. Nawazsmost memorable birthday was his 39th birthday. I was in Cannes for the first time. Four of my films were being screened. I feel blessed.For 13 years I was given no room to grow as an actor. Kuchbhimiltatthamainkarleta (I accepted what came my way). Gangs OfWasseypur changed my life. Today I feel Ive just begun my life. Nawazstill cant believe he is a star. Mujhe yakeen nahin hota ! Once during the shooting of Bajrangi Bhaijaan Salman Bhai and I got talking. He asked me if I find it hard to believe Ive become a star. I said I did. He confessed he also found it hard to believe he was a star, that when people gawked at him he still thought they were looking at someone behind him. I get the same feeling.
