Nawazuddin Siddiqui Offers A Glimpse Inside ‘Nawab': His Nostalgic, Self-Designed Dream Home In Mumbai
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's self-designed bungalow 'Nawab' beautifully blends vintage charm with personal memories from his childhood in Budhana. From sharing cramped quarters with multiple roommates in Mumbai's Goregaon during his struggling years to now residing in a palatial bungalow, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's journey has come full circle. Five years ago, the acclaimed actor fulfilled a long-held dream by building his own three-storey mansion in Versova's Yari Road, which he lovingly named 'Nawab' after his late father, Nawabuddin Siddiqui. The luxurious home is more than just bricks and mortar—it's a heartfelt tribute to his childhood home in Budhana, Uttar Pradesh. In a recent video tour shared on Nayandeep Rakshit's YouTube channel, Nawazuddin welcomed viewers into his personal sanctuary, a space that reflects both his artistic soul and deep-rooted nostalgia. Muted Tones, Theatre Posters, and a Splash of Red Kicking off the tour in the living room, the space was a study in restraint, dominated by earthy tones like cream, beige, and warm browns. 'I always envisioned an old-world charm—something that reminded me of colonial-era homes," Nawazuddin said when asked about his design aesthetic. 'People gift me art, but I rarely hang them unless they match the room's palette. I prefer buying pieces that blend with the tone of the house." A bold pop of colour stood out in the form of a vivid red pool table. 'I play occasionally, but it's mostly for my guests," he chuckled. Adorning the walls were posters of iconic theatrical characters—Hamlet, Othello, Romeo—roles Nawazuddin once embodied during his time at the National School of Drama. 'These remind me of my roots. I wanted the house to echo those NSD days. That hunger to learn, to stay grounded. You won't find a single movie poster here," he revealed. Three Floors of Personal Passions The house spans three levels, each tailored to different aspects of Nawazuddin's personal and professional life. The ground floor features a spacious hall and a private mini-theatre with plush brown couches and a large screen. The room opens into a balcony that overlooks a serene green patch. 'I love colourful flowers. That corner was inspired by the Romeo and Juliet balcony. I wanted it to feel like a piece of theatre," he said with a smile. Upstairs, his personal makeup room is designed like a traditional green room—wood-panelled flooring and walls, and a large mirror framed by vanity lights. 'Whenever I have a shoot, I get ready here. It keeps me in the zone," he shared. He also revealed a compact home gym tucked away inside the house. 'I'm not exactly a fitness buff, but I built it anyway," he laughed. In a touching moment, Nawazuddin pointed out a framed certificate—his daughter's acting distinction from a London workshop. 'She's obsessed with acting," he said proudly. Where Memory Meets Mastery True to its inspiration, the bungalow is dotted with vintage architectural features—arched doorways, carved wooden pillars, railings, and patterned flooring that harken back to his village home. The final part of the tour featured a grand staircase, the walls lined with his numerous awards and accolades—a quiet nod to his career journey. However, Nawazuddin was quick to note, 'I don't work for trophies. But I am thankful to have received them." In every detail, from layout to lighting, 'Nawab' is not just a home—it's a narrative. A space that reflects Nawazuddin Siddiqui's artistry, humility, and enduring connection to his roots. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Mera Jee Jala…': When Nawazuddin Siddiqui bought his daughter a Rs 2.5 Lakh Bag, Despite Calling It a Waste of Money
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his grounded nature, recently shared an amusing anecdote about his daughter's expensive taste. He recounted a shopping trip in Dubai where his daughter picked out a handbag costing a staggering Rs 2.5 lakh, leaving him surprised. Despite his reservations about the extravagance, Nawazuddin, like a doting father, ultimately purchased the bag for her. In an industry known for its glitz and glamour, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always stood apart — not just for his stellar performances, but also for his grounded, no-frills personality. Known for his humble beginnings and candid honesty, Nawazuddin recently shared a moment that struck a chord with many parents navigating the generational divide between simplicity and luxury. In a candid interaction with Curly Tales, the Sacred Games actor spoke about a personal incident involving his daughter that left him both amused and exasperated. 'My daughter Shora lives in DUbai. One day, she told me she wanted to buy a bag. I thought — how expensive could it be? Maybe Rs 15,000–Rs 20,000. These days, everything is expensive,' Nawaz recounted. But what followed was a classic generational clash of expectations. The actor, who comes from modest beginnings in a small Uttar Pradesh village, accompanied his daughter to a mall in Dubai. Inside a luxury store, she picked up a bag of her choice. 'I was okay till then. But when I asked for the price — it was Rs 2.5 lakh. Mera itna jee jala…,' Nawaz said with a wry smile. For Nawazuddin, who grew up in a time and environment where bags ranging from Rs 500- Rs 600 to Rs 2000-Rs 300 the idea of spending a quarter of a million rupees on a handbag felt like an unimaginable extravagance. Yet, like many doting fathers, he gave in. 'It's a waste of money, actually. But I bought it for her,' he admitted. Nawaz would be next seen in Dinesh Vijan backed Thama which will see him crossing swords with Ayushmann Khurrana , Rashmika Mandanna and Paresh Rawal . The film is slated to hit the theaters on Diwali and would be in all possibility clashing with Kartik Aaryan 's yet to be titled film with Sreeleela- directed by Anurag Basu .
