Nawazuddin Siddiqui's daughter,  is in the news for her possible acting debut. She is reportedly part of Arijit Singh's first directorial project, which is yet to be announced officially. Arijit, who announced his retirement from playback singing some time back, has taken a new career route, and it seems like Shora has managed to cross paths with his new venture, too. As per reports, the movie is already on floors, and Shora is currently in the middle of its shoot. This comes after Nawazuddin revealed in the past about Shora's passion for acting. He also shared how Shora was critical of his work and would not give him any leverage about being mediocre.

Shora Siddiqui is the eldest daughter of and his estranged wife Aaliya Siddiqui. She is a 16-year-old teenager and mostly stays away from the public eye, unlike other star kids. However, of late, she started gaining attention after netizens got curious about her life and possible future in films. She also grabbed eyeballs due to the legal and domestic disputes between her parents.

 

Along with focusing on education, she has shown interest in acting and creative fields. Nawazuddin has mentioned in interviews that she is exploring performing arts.

As per reports, Shora was born in 2011. She has a younger brother named Yaani. While much of her schooling has happened in Dubai, where she lived with her mother for a significant period, she has occasionally made appearances with her mother on social media posts. Her mother has in the past confirmed that, just like her father, Shora has an inclination towards taking up acting.

 

Nawazuddin has, across his interviews, called Shora a confident and outspoken girl. He even stated that she independently enrolled herself in a performing arts course, and recalled how she approached her teacher with determination, saying she wanted to learn acting.

 

In Zoom Spotlight Sessions' latest episode, Nawaz revealed that while Shora has watched only a few movies from his filmography, she openly criticises his dancing skills and even discourages him from dancing. He jokingly said that her comments affected his confidence.

“Meri beti ne meri zyada filmein dekhi nahi hai. Ek-do dekhi hogi. Gangs bhi chupke se dekhi hogi. Mere dance ke upar criticise karti hai. Voh bolti hai, dance mat kiya karo. Confidence khatam kar diya,” he quipped.
