 How have been your journey in Bollywood so far? |
| Manoj Bajpai: It has been a wonderful journey. All that I have achieved so far in my life is from the blessings of God and the result of my aspirations to search for a successful and prosperous life.
|
| Are you a religious person?
|
| Manoj Bajpai: I am a religious person from deep inside my heart. But I don't show it to the world. When I pass through a temple, if I feel like going in, I do and if not, I don't.
|
| What is the secret behind these short hairs and lean look? |
| Manoj Bajpai: Well, there is nothing special. It's just like that. |
| Anything you would like to say about the makeovers of actors like Aamir, Salman and Shahrukh?
|
| Manoj Bajpai: Now-a-days films are more demanding and so the masses even want to see their favourite star in a different look. Everyone is going by their own imagination of characters. What more can I say?
|
| Why don't you do many films a year ? |
| Manoj Bajpai: Well, I am very choosy about the scripts and the films I do. I should say, that's my DNA problem. |
| Tell us about your role in 'Jugaad' ? |
| Manoj Bajpai: Jugaad is a film about those people who have gone through the ordeal of sealing and its after effects. But to know more, about my role, you need to visit the theatre. |
| What else is there in the pipeline ? |
| Manoj Bajpai: There is a very interesting political drama titled 'Rajniti', in my kitty. You will see me soon. |
