Bollywood’s famous actor Manoj Bajpayee says that there was a time when he wanted to become an actor, he was rejected because of his appearance.
In a recent interview, the National Award-winning actor said that despite his theater experience and acting in films like Bandit Queen, he was not taken seriously in acting.
He said that he was always given minor roles or side roles, and people told him that you neither look like a hero nor a villain.
Manoj Bajpayee said, “Casting assistants used to pay lip service to me. The benefit was that I never expected to become a big actor.”
It may be recalled that his recently released film ‘Sara Ek Banda Kafi Hai’ has been praised by film critics for his work.
54-year-old Manoj Vajpayee, who has been acting in Bollywood for nearly 30 years, shot to fame with Ramgopal Varma’s crime film ‘Satya’ in 1998, followed by ‘Gang of Vasaipur’ in 2012 and ‘Gang of Vasaipur’ in 2015. Worked in films like ‘Aligarh’.
