Manoj Bajpayee: ‘People’s appreciation has proved that I’m on the best path’

As someone who has seen a number of ups and downs in his near a three-decade-long profession within the leisure trade, actor Manoj Bajpayee says he has discovered to not let his skilled achievements or failures outline him as an artiste.
The 52-year-old actor, who has acquired reward for the second season of his net sequence The Family Man, stated he tries to make profession selections that provide him in addition to his viewers a “unique” expertise.
“It’s been 26 years in the industry and I have been through so many emotions, excitement, success, and failures. All this has just become a part of my life. They don’t define my craft or me as an actor or person. I’m a realist and don’t get swayed by success or depressed by failures,” Bajpayee instructed PTI.

“Audience expectations are welcome, they should expect good work from me as I also do the same from myself. I believe in having strict discipline and doing a good job every time I step out to work. But I don’t feel compelled by the expectations.”

“When I choose a project, I always look for what new things I can offer as a performer and how I can make this whole experience unique for myself. And if I’m excited about something I’m doing, that excitement gets transferred to the audience. This is what I’m known for and people’s appreciation has proved that I’m on the right path,” he stated.
