9 times Manoj Bajpayee motivated us with strong inspirational messages

Manisha Chauhan

Manoj Bajpayee is a husband, a father, and an actor. He doesn't see his life beyond that.

My career has been a roller coaster ride. And every actor experiences that phase.

For me, money has never been an indicator. And it is very sad that each and every film these days is being judged by the money that it makes. It's a world that I don't want to be a part of, and I try and stay away from that.

What I am used to is 'Gali Guleiyan,' and people talking about my performances, what new I have tried in terms of my craft or the skill of storytelling.

I am a mix of both my parents. Like my father, I don't let my dreams die; I'm shy and respect women. However, if I am pushed against the wall, I attack like my mother.

For me, portraying a character is not about liking or disliking it; it's about meeting a challenge that's thrown at you.

For me, life is starting every day, every year. There's a lot to be done!

I personally feel that no human is a hero or a villain. All of us have our grey sides, and that is why grey interests me: because it's more human, more life-like.
