Quick 5 with Manoj Bajpayee

What do you need to keep a relationship alive?


It's a constant effort. Your focus should be your family and wife. It's an everyday work. Relationships are very fragile. There is no medicine or a tip for it. To keep it alive, you have to pay attention to each other. The temptations and glitter of this world are inviting and if you fall prey to them, it's bound to have a bad effect on your relationship. Relationships need to be carefully nurtured.


Relationships are very fragile in this industry. Is it true?


I don't belong to the film industry. We are on the borderline of the film industry. What happens inside, I'm not aware of it. I am on the borderline for the last 22 years. Never got a chance to get inside!


What role does your wife play in your life?


My wife has sacrificed everything to make my home and bring up our daughter. I am grateful to her and I salute her for that. She does a lot more than I do. 


What's the best part of fatherhood?


You become a responsible person and you love the baby in a way you never thought it was possible. The responsibility and love you feel, is the biggest change that takes place in a man’s life. After marriage and fatherhood, I make it a point to attend all the parents' meetings.  My wife makes sure that I do not miss any.


Are you content with your life?


Not content, but I'm happy with my life. All I want is to keep on working and get good assignments throughout my life.
