  • The actor never got to reconcile with his parents. His father expired when he was 18 years old while his mother died in the 1990s still bearing resentment against him.
  • Growing up in London, Naveen never felt at home in England because he faced a lot of racism. At the same time, he felt out of place among his Indian relatives as well because he could not speak his parents’ native language. Los Angeles in the United States is the only city he is happy to call his home.
  • Andrews was cast in the music video of Buddha of Suburbia (1994) by David Bowie.
  • He decided to get sober at the age of 29 when he met his childhood hero, Steve Jones, guitarist of S*x Pistols, at a party. Steve informed Naveen how he successfully gave up drinking and smoking and took him to his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
  • Throughout his 20s, Naveen was addicted to heroin and alcohol but he was always managed to get just sober enough for an acting job.
