Manoj Bajpayee recently disclosed that his wife Shabana Raza is surprised that he is still working in the film business.
Unquestionably, Manoj Bajpayee is among the best actors our nation has to offer. The incredibly adaptable actor has made a name for himself in the movie business and has been delighting us for years with his effortless interpretations. The Bollywood veteran recently claimed in an interview that his wife Shabana Raza is surprised that he is still working in the business.
For those who don’t know, Manoj and I have frequently disagreed. The actor is renowned for speaking truthfully and foregoing sugarcoating. He is also quite selective about the movies he works on, and for the same reason, he has offended a number of people in the industry by turning down offers. It makes sense that his wife is shocked that her spouse has endured for so long while unintentionally harming many people.
Manoj Bajpayee recalled how her wife Shabana is shocked by his success in the film industry when speaking with Mashable. The actor said, “She said it is miraculous that you are still existing in the industry. When I asked her why are you saying that, Shabana said, ‘Tumne jaise itne logon ko naraaz kiya hai, tumko khatam ho jana chahiye tha ab tak (The way you have upset people, your career should have ended a long time ago).’ People are not used to hearing no, and I have said no many times.”
“I have fought so much for a fair chance here, and I must admit I have been offensive as well, but I couldn’t see any other way. They said you will get money on how your film performs at the box office, but I said I have been here for so many years, done credible work so I deserve more.”
On the professional front, Manoj Bajpayee most recently appeared in the Disney+ Hotstar film Gulmohar.
