After seeing Manoj Bajpayee in Family Man, the entire country was swooning after him. He is regarded as one of Bollywood’s most accomplished and talented actors after providing us with a number of spectacular films over the years. He joined our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, and Siddharth Ambalayan on this Sunday Brunch X The Bombay Journey episode to talk more about his path to success and his love of Mumbai. To learn more, watch the entire video.
Manoj Bajpayee Talks About The Two Kinds Of Actors
An ace actor, it has been almost 30 years since he has been entertaining us with exceptional performances. Over these decades, he has acted in more than 100 movies. Telling us more about his outlook on acting, he shared that there are two kinds of actors. While the first one runs after the character, the other one gets the character to chase him. And he is the first kind, who keeps hunting the character.
One would imagine that after working on so many movies, he wouldn’t get nervous anymore. However, that is not the case. Manoj Bajpayee shared that he was quite nervous before the release of Gulmohar, his latest movie. He is more concerned about how the movie and the characters will be perceived by the audience. The success of the movie at the box office has never bothered him as much.
He Is Also An Amazing Cook
To address the important issues, we asked him if he was a foodie. He responded affirmatively and added that he also enjoys cooking. He mentioned that he makes incredible aloo gobhi and mutton. Manoj Bajpayee also shared that his wife, Shabana, is a much better cook than he is. In fact, she actually prefers it if he does not cook. He acknowledged that his cooking abilities pale in comparison to those of his wife. He still seemed a little pleased with himself for making the effort, though. He also mentioned how excellent his mustard fish is.
