To vo ek afsos hai.\u201d (One big regret I have is Sanju. For the role of Kamli, I was shortlisted, and the process lasted quite some time. So that remains a regret.)The actor also spoke about auditioning for the role played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan and starring Salman Khan.\u201cFir Bajrangi Bhaijaan me jo Nawazuddin Siddiqui ne kiya tha, uske liye bhi mene audition diya tha aur shortlist hua tha, kuch rounds of audition hue the mere, but vo naseeb ki baat hai,\u201d he added. (Then, for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the role that Nawazuddin Siddiqui played, I had auditioned for that as well and was shortlisted. I went through a few rounds of auditions, but that\u2019s a matter of destiny.)  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a matter of destiny\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While both films went on to become major commercial successes \u2014 with Sanju starring Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt \u2014 Sharib chose to look at the experience with perspective.Calling it \u201cnaseeb ki baat,\u201d the actor acknowledged that despite coming close, some roles are simply not meant to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharib Hashmi is not shying away from talking about the roles that didn\u2019t work out.
