Biography

Manoj Bajpayee, born on 23 April 1969 in Belwa, Bihar, is one of India’s most acclaimed actors, celebrated for his versatility and intense performances. Coming from a modest farming family, he aspired to act from a young age. At 17, he moved to Delhi and applied to the National School of Drama (NSD) multiple times but was rejected. Undeterred, he pursued theatre while studying at Delhi University, honing his craft through stage plays. His film journey began with small roles in Drohkaal and Bandit Queen (1994), but his breakthrough came with Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya (1998), earning him the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor. Over the years, Bajpayee has delivered powerful performances in films like Shool, Pinjar, Gangs of Wasseypur, and Aligarh, as well as in acclaimed web series such as The Family Man. He has won four National Film Awards, four Filmfare Awards, and two Asia Pacific Screen Awards, and was honored with the Padma Shri in 2019. Despite his fame, Bajpayee is admired for his humility, dedication to craft, and ability to embody complex characters with authenticity.
