Mumbai: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s sister, Syama Tamshi Siddiqui, passed away after a long battle with cancer, family sources said on Sunday. She was 26.

Syama, who died on Saturday, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 18 and was battling the disease for eight years.

During the time of her death, Nawazuddin was shooting in the US for “No Land’s Man”, the insider told PTI.

The actor had opened up about Syama’s diagnosis last October on Twitter.
