Manoj Bajpayee: Unfazed by Awards, Focused on Craft

Renowned actor Manoj Bajpayee remains unfazed by the absence of recognition at the National Film Awards for his standout performances in 'Joram' and 'Sirf Ek Baanda Kaafi Hai'.

Despite garnering acclaim for his roles, Bajpayee states he doesn't expect accolades for his work, citing the waning credibility of award functions. According to him, awards have 'slipped down' in significance for artists.

Bajpayee reflects on his passion for acting, expressing satisfaction with his craft rather than the awards. He adds he quickly moves past such matters once his films are released. Bajpayee's recent appearances include Netflix's 'Inspector Zende' and the theatrical release 'Jugnuma: The Fable'.
