Manoj Bajpayee marked the holiday with a Christmas tree photo on his social media stories. The National Award-winning actor wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hoping for a season with warmth and a chance to slow down.
He had a busy year on screen. One major project was the Netflix action comedy Inspector Zende, where he played the eccentric title character opposite Jim Sarbh. Another was the festival-praised drama Jugnuma: The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy and presented by Guneet Monga and Anurag Kashyap. He also returned as spy Srikant Tiwari in the latest season of the hit series The Family Man. Upcoming work includes a film adaptation of the novel Last Man in Tower.
Bajpayee holds four National Film Awards. His first was a Best Supporting Actor win for the movie Satya. He later earned a Special Jury Award for Pinjar, a Best Actor award for Bhonsle, and, most recently, a Special Mention for his role in Gulmohar.
