Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Budhana-born actor (born 1974) — not Abdul Aleem Siddiqui or any other Siddiqui holding a record. Existence checks by name fragments (nawazuddin, siddiqui) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record for him. The queue's year (1974, living) is confirmed to the day. Relations written: none — Budhana has no place entity. Living-person care: only well-sourced public facts are recorded, and his faith entry rests on his own published statement.",
