Get to know... Manoj Bajpayee
Currently I am
Glad that people have responded well to my work in Bhaiyya Ji. I’d describe the film as a look at perseverance, patience, and kindness.
On my playlist
Music by Bob Marley; Rimjhim Gire Sawan, by Kishore Kumar; Every Breath You Take, by The Police.
On my speed dial
My wife, Shabana Raza.

Meat bhaat.
A line that’s stuck in my head
Nivedan nahi, narsanhaar hoga. (There won’t be invitation, there will be genocide) from Bhaiyya Ji.
Next big splurge
Shoes.
Last thing I ordered online
Bengali food.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self
Calm down, everything will happen in its own time.
A secret skill I have
I cook meat curry better than anyone else I know.
A My favourite Sunday memory while growing up
My father used to cook amazing meat bhaat, no wonder I always crave it.

Meeting the legend, Amitabh Bachchan.
My favourite bad habit
Sometimes, casually, I enjoy a glass of Prosecco.
If I could travel back or forward in time…
At my age, I don’t want to travel in time. I just want to travel back to my hometown and settle down to a quiet life. But it seems impossible.
A trait I despise in people
Behaving badly with women.
I won’t leave the house without…
My backpack.
