Positive reviews for the actor Manoj Bajpayee's most recent movie, Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, have added to his already impressive body of work in movies throughout the years. The National Award-winning actor has starred in some noteworthy movies, but he frequently states that he intentionally attempts to avoid the ecosystem that comes with being a "star."
Manoj has been appearing in movies for around 30 years. Additionally, he has appeared in web series including The Family Man on Prime Video. In a recent interview, when asked about his net worth, Manoj claimed he had enough money to ensure a comfortable future for himself, his wife Shabana Raza, and their daughter Ava Nayla.’
The actor talked openly about his financial situation and how he still observes mainstream cinema from the outside and hasn't integrated himself into it in an interview. When the actor was informed that a Google search revealed his net worth to be Rs 170 crore, he was promoting his movie Bandaa. He answered, “Baap re baap! Aligarh aur Gali Guleiyan karke? Bilkul nahi hai par haan itna zaroor hai bhagwan ki daya se ki mera aur meri patni ka budhapa ache se guzar jayega aur meri beti set ho jayegi
Manoj, who hails from Bihar further said he still lives in the suburbs of Mumbai, unlike many other Bollywood celebs. He said, “Main south Mumbai ka nahi hoon, na Bandra ka hoon. Main abhi bhi Lokhandwala, Andheri mein rehta hun. Main hamesha kehta hoon ke main cinema, iss film industry ke beech mein nahi hun. Maine ye choose kiya tha ki main film industry ki boundary pe baitha hun. Ye mera chunav raha ha
The actor, whose credits include Aarakshan, Gangs of Wasseypur, and Naam Shabana, among others, claims he cannot identify to the way of life of those who reside in these affluent areas of the city. “Main wo relate nahi kar pata hun. What do I do, I have come from a village. I have taken this journey and reached the periphery of the industry. To go inside the industry I will have to become like them and that requires a lot of strength. Now, after these many years, I don’t think I can be anyone else.”
In the May 23 film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, Manoj Bajpayee made his final appearance. Prior to that, the actor starred in the film Gulmohar with renowned actor Sharmila Tagore. Manoj will soon begin filming the third season of his hit online series The Family Man.
