Nawazuddin Siddiqui was shooting for Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Kashmir when his baby boy Yaani was born on May 19, which incidentally, is his birthday as well.
"It will remain a matter of regret forever," Nawaz says. "I was shooting far away from home when my son was born. I missed that moment when he came into our family."
The actor is now trying to spend as much time as possible with his baby but his impossible schedules pose quite the challenge.
"I am promoting Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salmanbhai. That’s barely done, when I start promoting my next film Mountain Man, which releases in August 21,” sighs Nawaz.
"To me, both Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Mountain Man are important films," he adds. "If I am part of a film featuring a superstar like Salmanbhai in Bajrangi or Shah Rukhbhai in Raees, it helps me to get an audience for a smaller film like Mountain Man where I play the lead."
