Bollywood's top star, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is well known for his versatility on screen, but no one is aware of his private life.

He recently talked about the wonderful relationship he has with his young daughter, Shora, but he also admitted that he can be strict with her at times.

The actor talked about how Shora always helps him stay grounded and how balancing a demanding career and a family life has always been his biggest challenge.

In an interview with The New Indian Express, Nawazuddin revealed his equation to Shora, who is presently a student in Dubai.

He disclosed that he has a strong bond with her, saying she is his favourite person. Nawazuddin has given his daughter credit for keeping him in check and revealed, "I yell at her sometimes, but she is very dear to me. She is a moohphat (straightforward). She criticises me. The best part is she is not in awe of me. She doesn’t care that her father is a great actor, in two minutes, she can criticise me. She hasn’t even watched many of my movies."

With films like Gangs of Wasseypur, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Raees, to mention a few, Nawazuddin has established a niche for himself in the Bollywood film industry.

Shora might also follow in the footsteps of her father, who came from modest beginnings to pursue a career in film. Although Nawazuddin took a while to become well-known throughout the world, it is encouraging to see him give credit to his daughter for keeping him rooted and grounded. His love and simplicity for his daughter, Shora, demonstrate his extraordinary fatherhood, even though he is one of the best stars of the generation.
