Apart from his strong acting on the big screen, Manoj Bajpayee also created a stir in OTT space in ‘The Family Man’. This series also made the actor a favorite of the new generation. Everyone knows everything related to Manoj Bajpayee’s film career, but very few people know about his personal life, which is not resolved as much as his professional life. The actor married not twice but twice.
Second marriage after long dating
Yes! You read it right. Manoj Bajpayee has married twice. Most people know about her second marriage with Shabana Raza. A large part of the society is not aware of Manoj Bajpayee’s first marriage. Before talking about Manoj Bajpayee’s first marriage, let’s tell about his current wife Shabana Raza with whom he has an interfath marriage. Manoj and Shabana dated each other for eight years and then both got married in 2006. In 2011, his daughter’s daughter was born. His daughter’s name is Ava Nayla. Manoj Bajpayee’s wife Shabana Raza was also an actress by profession, who has worked in films like ‘Near’, ‘Ho Hoi Pyaar Ki Jeet’, ‘Fiza’, ‘Rahul and Atma’. Now she has become a filmmaker and has made a complete distance from acting. Shabana also helps in deciding the script of Manoj’s film.
First marriage did not go
According to media reports, Manoj Bajpayee had married his first marriage while living in his hometown in Belwa, Bihar. It was an arranged marriage that was decided by his parents Radhakant Bajpai and Geeta Devi. After marriage, Manoj went to Mumbai to try his luck in acting. Like the most actors who brought dreams and aspirations in Mumbai, Manoj also faced rejections many times. He was struggling to meet his needs. During that difficult period, Manoj Bajpayee’s married life started to crack and the financial crisis allegedly prepared the path of his divorce. The actor never spoke openly about this and kept his first wife’s identity and background secret. This was really a difficult phase for the actor, but he continued to work for his dream.
Luck reversed with this film
He finally received a reward of his determination in 1994 when he made his acting debut in 1994 with the film ‘Drohkal’ directed by Govind Nihalani. It was just a minute’s role, but it was enough to grab Shekhar Kapoor’s attention, who gave Manoj Bajpayee a small role in his film ‘Bandit Queen’. Four years after his debut in the film industry, Manoj was signed by Ram Gopal Varma to play the role of ‘Bhiku Mhatre’ in his film ‘Satya’ and after that the actor’s fate was overturned.
