Nawazuddin Siddiqui humorously admits that his daughter’s honest feedback has completely destroyed his confidence in dancing. This revelation comes as he discusses his relationship with Shora, who is now 16 years old.

Shora is the daughter of Nawazuddin and his estranged wife, Aaliya. While she has not watched many of her father’s films, she is passionate about acting and plans to pursue it after completing her studies.

Nawazuddin revealed that Shora often criticizes his dance skills. “She asks me not to do it. I am a poor dancer. She has destroyed my confidence,” he said. He added, “All daughters are straightforward with their fathers.” This candidness highlights the unique father-daughter dynamic they share.

Recently, Shora independently enrolled in a performing arts course. Her commitment to acting has already begun to pay off; a video of her performing an intense acting scene in English went viral. Since April 27, 2026, she has been trending on Google.

Nawazuddin was last seen in the horror-comedy film Thamma. He has several upcoming projects, including Main Actor Nahi Hoon, Noorani Chehra, and Tumbbad 2. Despite his busy schedule, he remains supportive of Shora’s ambitions.

Shora’s training includes experience at institutions like London’s West End Stage. This professional background may give her an edge as she navigates her path in Bollywood.

The bond between Nawazuddin and Shora reflects a blend of humor and honesty. As both navigate their careers—one established and one emerging—their relationship continues to evolve.

For now, Nawazuddin focuses on his upcoming films while encouraging Shora’s aspirations. He expressed hope for her future: “She will complete her studying first, then we will see. She is passionate about acting though.”
