Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals how his student days shaped his acting career
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui opened up about how his early days as a science student significantly influenced his journey into the world of acting.
Avinash Tiwary isn’t your typical Bollywood star—he’s the kind of actor who keeps surprising you. One moment, he’s a dreamy lover in ‘Laila Majnu’, making audiences swoon, and the next, he’s sending chills down spines as a menacing villain in ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’. His evolution in Indian cinema has been nothing short of fascinating.
Back in 2018, ‘Laila Majnu’ introduced Avinash Tiwary as the intense, brooding lover who wore his heart on his sleeve. The film may not have been a box-office juggernaut, but over time, it gained cult status—largely because of Avinash’s raw and heartfelt performance. He wasn’t just playing a romantic lead; he ‘became’ Qais, living and breathing the tragic love story. His sincerity resonated deeply, and Bollywood took notice.

Instead of cashing in on his romantic-hero appeal, Avinash switched gears. He dabbled in the supernatural with ‘Bulbbul’, where he delivered a layered performance in the eerie, feminist fable. With this, he proved he wasn’t afraid to take risks. No cookie-cutter roles for this guy—he wanted challenges.
Then came ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’, where Avinash flipped the script completely. From playing the tormented lover, he morphed into a chilling supervillain, leaving audiences stunned. His performance was so gripping that it had people rooting for him ‘and’ fearing him at the same time. That’s the mark of a solid performer—when even the bad guy gets under your skin in the best way possible.

Streaming platforms have been a game-changer, and Avinash is one of the actors who has truly thrived in the digital era. He delivered one powerhouse performance after another in ‘Kaala’, ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, and ‘The Mehta Boys’, proving that he’s as much an actor’s actor as he is an audience favorite.
But just when you think he’s settled into serious roles, he throws a curveball with ‘Madgaon Express’, a comedy that once again showcases his range. From love stories to crime thrillers to humor—there’s nothing he’s afraid to try.
Avinash’s upcoming project, ‘O Saathi Re’, has already created a buzz. The reunion with Imtiaz Ali, the man who gave him his big break, and his fresh pairing with Aditi Rao Hydari has fans intrigued. Will he return to his romantic roots, or will there be another unexpected twist in store?
