NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI REVEALS SMOKING MARIJUANA IN HIS YOUTH UNDER INFLUENCE OF SOME PEOPLE; SAYS ‘I’VE MADE MISTAKES…’

Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently shared that he was addicted to marijuana once upon a time in his life. He said that he used to get a lot of fun by smoking it. The actor later clarified that he does not promote it and would like to apologise for talking about it. Nawazuddin also said that at that time he was in the bad company of friends and stated that he used to feel like he was the biggest star in the world. 

In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia for his podcast, Nawazuddin said ‘I had the company of some people, who would smoke up so even I ended up doing that. I realised later that… I don’t want to promote it, I have made mistakes but its benefit was that jo travelling milti thi usmein, bada maza aata tha (the high you’d get in that was a lot of fun). But I do not want to promote it at all, it was our mistake and I want to apologise for that.”

He also shared that under the influence of marijuana, he used to feel like he was the ‘biggest actor in the world’.”I would think people are my audience, and the world my stage. So, I would perform! I would sometimes be Ashwatthama, Karn, Krishna and perform for hours. Because you get into a loop, so I would perform from morning to night. Later when its effect would subside, people would tell me, ‘Paagal ho gaya kya hai tu? You have been repeating the same dialogue all day! I would go to parks, perform in buses, wherever,” he added.
