Nawazuddin Siddiqui shares rare glimpse of his son Yani, writes, "his full-time occupation is play"

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for keeping his personal life fiercely private, surprised fans by sharing a tender moment from his family life on Instagram. The post featured his young son, Yani, dressed in a crisp all-white outfit, walking thoughtfully through what looked like a mall or hotel corridor.

Over the video, Nawazuddin wrote, “Yani’s full-time occupation, it’s called play.” The story was shared with the song Wildflower by Beach House playing in the background, adding a soft, nostalgic touch to the moment.

The video stood out not only because Nawazuddin rarely posts about his children but also for its quiet simplicity.

Known for his intense performances in films like Gangs of Wasseypur, Manto, and Raman Raghav 2.0, Nawazuddin’s off-screen persona often remains understated. Yet moments like these remind audiences of his grounding — a man deeply rooted in family despite the glare of fame.

Nawazuddin’s bond with his children, Shora and Yani, has occasionally surfaced in interviews. He has often spoken about wanting to give them a simple, grounded upbringing away from the chaos of the entertainment industry. His latest story seemed to echo that philosophy — that the truest joy lies in everyday moments, far removed from the film world’s distractions.

Yani Siddiqui is the younger child of actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Aaliya Siddiqui. Though Nawazuddin rarely shares pictures of his children, Yani has occasionally appeared in glimpses that reveal his cheerful and carefree spirit. Born into a family of artists, Yani is often described by his father as playful, curious, and full of imagination qualities Nawazuddin deeply values. The actor once mentioned that he learns patience and creativity by watching his son play.
