MUMBAI: Nawazuddin Siddiqui's younger sister Syama passed away a week ago. She had been suffering from cancer for the last eight years. The actor was shooting in the United States at that time.
Nawaz however completed shooting a scene despite receiving the devastating news just before he could go in front of the camera. He was shooting for director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's film No Land's Man in New York. He did not disclose the news to his cast and crew until they figured it out much later. Director Farooki took to social media to pen a message.
He wrote, ‘Two days ago, while we were shooting a scene, he received a call. We had no idea what was going on. He completed the scene brilliantly. After we packed up, I came to know he lost his sister while we were shooting that scene. While coordinating everything back home, he continued his shoot and made sure our New York shoot is completed.’
Have a look.
