Manoj Bajpayee on his struggles in the industry: 'Failure never defines you'

Manoj Bajpayee talked about his struggle in the film industry at the Arth Cultural Fest. 

Actor Manoj Bajpayee opened up about his struggles in the film industry at the Arth Cultural Fest. The actor said that failure or success never defines the person. He said, 'When there is no work, there is a lot of work.'

Manoj added, 'So, rejection never defines you. Failure never defines you, similarly, success doesn’t define you. Manoj Bajpayee, as an actor, is the same now as he was 30 years ago.'

Talking about the lowest phase in career and wanting a chance, he continued, 'I was not a bad actor even when I failed. According to the market and commercial aspects, I was a failure. But, the work I was doing, in my perspective, wasn’t a failure. I just knew one thing – I’ll get a chance and make a comeback.'

The actor has also revealed that he is a trained dancer but quit the dream of being a dancer when he watched Hrithik Roshan. In an exclusive interview with, Curly Tales, he said, 'Since I'm from theatre, there used to be a prerequisite that an artist should know how to sing. Even if you do not become a frontline singer, you must be a chorus singer at least. Yes, I used to dance as well.'

He added, 'Main Chhau dance mein trained hoon lekin jab Hrithik aya na. Maine Hrithik ko dekha toh maine kaha aaj ke baad dancing ka khwaab band kyuki ab ye nahi seekh sakta main (I'm trained in Chhau dance but when Hrithik came in the industry and I saw his performance, I told myself 'this is the end of my dream of dance as I can't learn this).'

On the work front, Manoj Bajpayee is awaiting the release of his film 'Gulmohar' which will stream on Disney+ Hotstar on March 3.
