Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the acclaimed actor known for his diverse roles, recently opened up about his experience working alongside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Collaborating on films like 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'Kick,' Nawazuddin shared an interesting anecdote that shed light on the disparity between being a star and an actor.

Here's what he said

In his trademark humor, Salman humorously illustrated the contrast. He likened the task of threading a needle, stating that while an actor would diligently perform the task with focus and sincerity, a star would choose not to bother.

Nawazuddin resonated deeply with Salman's remark, as it vividly highlighted the disparity between their respective personas.
On Stars' importance in the industry
The esteemed 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' actor further elaborated on the significance of a star's swag and attitude, asserting that audiences pay to witness their beloved stars exude charisma on screen.
People are captivated by their unique selling point, their attitude, and their unmistakable presence. Khan succinctly distinguished between being an actor and a star, encapsulating the essence of their contrasting roles.
