After struggling for years, Nawazuddin became an overnight sensation after his performance in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur: Part II. In a recent interview, he even mentioned the paychecks that he didn’t receive for the work he did back in the day.

Recalling how he used to get treated at the sets for trying to eat with the main leads, Nawazuddin revealed in an interview with BBC Hindi, “Of course, thousands of times. Sometimes on set, I would ask the spot boy for water, and he’d completely ignore me. Then you’d have to get it yourself. A lot of productions here segregate the cast and crew during meal times. Junior artists eat separately, the supporting artists have their own space, and the main leads are also separated.”
