News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood Struggle Story: Today we consider Manoj Bajpayee one of the best artists of Hindi cinema. Whether Srikanth Tiwari of ‘The Family Man’ or Sardar Khan of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, he has made a special place in the hearts of people with every character. But do you know that there was a time in his life when he was so disappointed that he had made up his mind to give up acting forever? It was a matter of time when Manoj Bajpayee was going through a very difficult phase of his career. He had no work and started feeling that his journey would end here. Amidst this disappointment and frustration, he reached the quiet litigants of Uttarakhand with his wife. When the journey to the scissors Dham changed everything, he decided to go to Neem Karauli Baba’s famous scissors Dham. This is the same ashram where even big people from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg and Virat-Anushka also come in search of relaxed. He just wanted to spend some time in peace. He reached there and meditated and remembered Baba. He did not ask for anything from there, just kept feeling the positive energy of the place. But as soon as he returned from there, his life took a turn that he did not even imagine. Manoj Bajpayee says, “As soon as I got out of the ashram, I started getting offers of films one after the other. ‘Zorm’, ‘Banda’ and many other films started calling me. He says, “That place taught me to just do your work and don’t worry about the fruit. If you are true then it will be good with you.” This incident suggests that sometimes when we feel that all the roads are closed, then a new ray of hope comes from somewhere. This story of Manoj Bajpayee is not just a film story, but an inspiration for millions of people who are struggling in their lives.
