Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s sister Syama Tamshi Siddiqui passed away at 26 after a 8-year-long fight with cancer. She breathed her last at a hospital in Pune on Saturday. During the time of her death, Nawazuddin was shooting in the US for "No Land's Man", the insider told PTI.
Syama, who died on Saturday, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 18 and was battling the disease for eight years.
Her funeral will be organised at their ancestral village Budhana in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday. Nawazuddin had shared the news about her sister battling with disease since the age of 18 on his social media in October last year on her 25th birthday.
