News India Live, Digital Desk: Manoj Bajpayee, is the name that has made a different place in the industry with his strong acting. From Bhikhu Mhatre of ‘Satya’ to Srikanth Tiwari of ‘The Family Man’, he has killed every character. Today he is on the peak of success, but there was a time when he was also afraid, especially the three Bollywood mines- Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir. Why did they seem to look at the Khans? In a recent interview, Manoj Bajpayee said a very interesting thing while remembering the struggle of his early days. He told that when he was working hard to make his mark in the industry in the 90s, all three Khan had become superstars. His films were doing crores of business and his craze was speaking to the people. He felt that there would be no place left for acting like him in the glare of this stardom. “I have a separate journey”, however, Manoj Bajpayee also made it clear that he never was jealous of the success of Khans. He says, “His journey is completely different and my different. We both had different floors. They made cinema so big in the country, pulled people to theaters, which also benefited actors like us somewhere.” Manoj Bajpayee believes that every artist brings one luck. He never dreamed of becoming a superstar, his aim was to always become a good actor. He said, “I had never imagined what I have found today. God has given me a lot more than my expectation and I am happy in it.” This shows that success means different for everyone. While Khans coined the definition of stardom, Manoj Bajpayee decided such a measure of acting, which is not a matter of everyone.
