Sunny Hinduja Celebrates 4 Years of "The Family Man" and Reflects on Working with Manoj Bajpayee

It's been four years since "The Family Man" burst onto our screens, and actor Sunny Hinduja, who played the role of Milind in the show, is taking a trip down memory lane. The show has not only been a game-changer for him but also a cherished experience, especially working alongside the legendary Manoj Bajpayee.

In "The Family Man," Sunny Hinduja's character, Milind, is a junior agent in the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), working directly under the formidable Srikant, played by Manoj Bajpayee. Milind often finds himself in the thick of action sequences, including the tense showdown at Orion Chemicals in Season 1. These experiences leave him grappling with survivors' guilt, causing him to temporarily withdraw from TASC. However, he makes a triumphant return in Season 2, only to meet a tragic fate at the hands of Sri Lankan Tamil rebels.

Known for his impeccable acting skills, Sunny Hinduja has carved a special place in the hearts of audiences. On the fourth anniversary of "The Family Man," he fondly remembers the time spent shooting the series. Working with writer and Director Raj & D.K, Writer Suman Kumar and the talented ensemble cast that included Sharad Kelkar, Neeraj Madhav, Sharib Hashmi, Dalip Tahil, and Shreya Dhanwanthary was a delightful experience. However, it was Manoj Bajpayee who left an indelible mark on Sunny.

Reflecting on his experience of working with Manoj Bajpayee, Sunny Hinduja stated, "Shooting with Manoj (Bajpayee), sir, was really special. It was not just a good learning experience but an experience that needs to be cherished for a lifetime because he is not just a good actor but also a great human being. He knows how to balance work, life, and family. He is actually a family man, at the same time focused and driven towards his work. The best part is he welcomed the other actors part of the series with open arms. Manoj sir is now a close part of my life now. If I want to discuss something or make a decision, I always share it with him. He inspires in so many ways with his craft, his behavior. What he taught me was that despite being focused, don't take things too seriously and personally, that really changed my perspective."
