Manoj
Bajpayee
is
touted
to
be
one
of
the
most
versatile
actors
in
Indian
cinema
and
is
a
recepient
of
various
awards.
But,
the
actor
have
had
his
own
share
of
struggles
to
make
his
mark
in
the
film
industry.
Recently,
while
speaking
with
Mid-day
about
his
days
as
a
struggling
actor,
he
revealed
that
he
landed
in
Mumbai
on
filmmaker
Anubhav
Sinha's
insistence.
The
director
had
even
sent
him
flight
tickets
to
audition
for
a
TV
series
but
ended
up
not
getting
selected
for
the
same.
The
Family
Man
actor
told
the
tabloid,
"I
have
never
had
such
a
difficult
time
from
the
time
I
left
my
village
at
the
age
of
17
and
a
half.
This
four
years
was
like
40
years.
Everything
was
falling
apart,
once
I
got
three
projects:
a
series,
a
corporate
film,
one
docudrama
and
another
series.
In
one
day
I
was
chucked
out
from
all."
Talking
about
how
he
dealt
with
the
rejection,
he
shared,
"What
was
fantastic
was
that
the
world
was
falling
apart
for
me
but
I
was
not
falling
apart.
I
still
feel
how
it
was
the
make
of
me.
After
many
years
I
realized
the
only
thing
that
can
break
me
is
my
personal
loss.
The
professional
side
never
used
to
bother
me,
even
now
it
doesn't
now."
In
the
same
interview,
Manoj
also
revealed
some
secrets
about
Thappad
director
Anubhav
Sinha.
He
spilled
the
beans
about
how
the
filmmaker
used
to
serve
a
different,
more
affordable
drink
to
his
friends
while
enjoying
an
expensive
drink
himself.
"Anubhav
Sinha
used
to
tell
me,
'Do
you
know
how
much
this
drink
costs?'
He
used
to
rub
it
very
hard.
'This
is
scotch,
do
you
know
what
is
the
difference
between
scotch
and
whisky?'
he
used
to
say.
I
used
to
hate
him.
But
this
is
how
Anubhav
Sinha
is.
He
used
to
keep
scotch
for
himself
and
serve
Old
Monk
to
his
poor
friends,
no
matter
how
social
he
is
on
Twitter," the
actor
candidly
confessed
in
the
interview.
With
respect
to
work,
Manoj
Bajpayee
will
be
next
seen
in
the
second
season
of
web-series
The
Family
Man.
Apart
from
the
original
cast
from
the
first
season,
the
show
will
also
feature
Samantha
Akkineni.
