Office Office: Sanjay Mishra Says Pankaj Kapur Never Shared Tiffin; It Took Time To Gel With Him
The popular sitcom, Office Office is back on television amid lockdown. While Sanjay Mishra played the role of a peon, Pankaj Kapur was seen as a common man, Musaddi Lal. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Sanjay revealed that he took the show for money. He also revealed as to why it was difficult to gel with Pankaj Kapur.
Regarding
his
bond
with
Pankaj
Kapur,
Sanjay
told
the
leading
daily,
"Pankaj
Kapur
was
my
senior
from
NSD.
I
never
had
a
chance
to
meet
him
before
Office
Office.
After
I
met
him,
I
got
to
know
that
he
was
an
introvert.
He
was
a
very
reserved
person
and
always
maintained
a
fine
distance.
For
the
first
two
days
it
was
very
difficult
to
break
that
mould
while
doing
scenes
with
Pankaj
Kapur.
We
all
actors
decided
to
mingle
with
him
a
little.
We
used
to
have
lunch
together
but
he
never
had
lunch
with
us.
Neither
did
he
share
his
tiffin
nor
did
he
expect
anybody
to
offer
him.
Then
we
started
going
to
him
and
praising
his
food
but
it
took
a
lot
of
time
to
gel
with
him."
Sanjay added that Pankaj is a thorough professional, "Kaam se kaam, fir salaam." He further added, "It is a problem for me when people behave this way at work. We are working together; you need to know me I need to know you and I believe it is important for a good performance."
Sanjay also revealed that no one was ready to play the peon on the show, although the character was equally important. He added that it was awkward to wear the khaki while others were well-dressed, but all these silly thoughts disappeared after an hour of shooting.
The reason for him to sign the show was money. He added that before joining the show, there was no mission, and motivation to perform the role came only after signing the show. He added, "lss mahine ka kiraya dena hai bhai (I need to pay my monthly rent to my landlord) I cannot go to the landlord and tell him that I refused the role because I didn't like it."
