You can take a man out of his village, but you cannot take the village out of him.

The saying is especially true when it comes to Bollywood actor Nawazuddi Siddiqui, who spent a week recently at his village Budhana in UP growing vegetables.

The new Bollywood sensation reportedly visits his village twice a year and spends time doing what he did before, farming.

Nawazuddi Siddiqui, who comes from a humble background, told Mumbai Mirror that he did farming till he was 22. He says that when he goes back to his village, he works along with other farmers, who are busy with their chores.

He does not seem to get any star treatment from them.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui famously struggled for long years in poverty before breaking into big time.

Despite his phenomenal success, he says he is uncomfortable in designer clothes and the glamour that surrounds him now.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui says his success still surprises him. When fans run behind him, his first instinct is to think that they are chasing someone else.
